It was Bowling Green, not Boston. And four ducklings, not eight. And it wasn’t Officer Michael coming to the rescue.
But Bowling Green had its own version of “Make Way for Ducklings” this past weekend.
Four ducklings were rescued from a storm drain on South Main Street by Bowling Green Police officers, and employees from O’Reilly Auto Parts and Circle K South.
An engine hoist from O’Reilly was used to lift the storm drain grate, then the ducklings were coaxed toward the opening with hot dog buns from Circle K South. Police officers then lifted the ducklings out.
The young ducks were reunited with their mother, who then led them back to the wooded area near Kenwood Elementary School.
