Recently, ECO Day responded to a report of ducklings stuck in a storm drain at an apartment complex in Ronkonkoma.
Officer Day arrived at the complex and observed a hen mallard with one duckling wandering around the parking lot near the storm drain and could hear the other ducklings chirping inside the drain.
With assistance from two employees of the apartment complex, ECO Day managed to get the drain cover moved just enough to retrieve the ducklings using a net.
The Officer removed all the ducklings safely from the storm drain and reunited them with the hen mallard waiting at a nearby pond.
