I saw this on the news last night & thought it was cute :) It's nice to see the media portraying bankers in a good light.

Thank-you, CC. That helped brighten my morning. Those ducklings are lucky that he's a good catcher. I'm glad they didn't have to rely on someone with my catching skills.:eek: The ducks being guided by the crowd gave me a good chuckle too.

That is easily the most precious thing I've seen in a few weeks. Thanks for sharing!!! It's being passed along through the science department at my school presently!

to get some local (to me)news.
Funny!

This was on one of the morning programs - Today or Good Morning America or something. They said how the guy said he hadn't played baseball since he was a kid and was trying to remember everything he could about catching. :) That made me chuckle. Seeing this on the morning news the other day actually started my day out with a smile!

This is downtown in my city. I didn't need to read the article. This is the second year in a row the ducks have nested in that location. Last year the story went viral in a matter of hours. I got quite a few emails asking if this was for real or not. It is, and it's year number two for the duck family on the ledge in Spokane.

LOL I just googled "ducks spokane Sterling" ( the name of the bank) Lots of hits, I guess they even have their own facebook page now.

:D

. . . see, Spokane IS good for something! We save ducks who repeatedly make bad nesting choices. :D bikerHen

Fantastic banker... not a very smart duck though.

She'll keep nesting there if he keeps catching the little ones. But of course who wants to see ducklings crash? It's a true catch-22!

Exactly.
After two years you'd think someone would build something to stop her from nesting there.
