In mid-April a duck made her nest near the front doors of WXXI on State Street and laid 12 eggs. We quarantined off the area so as to not disturb her, but kept a close eye on her. We are happy to report that all 12 eggs hatched on May 20 and mama and the ducklings safely left the nest the morning of May 21 headed to the High Falls area for water and better shelter.
WXXI Security Guard Sherwin Drakes captured this video of our ducklings being safely led by their mama to water.
