Growing up one of my favourite books was called "Make way for ducks" which is the tale of a mother duck leading her ducklings across Boston. In downtown Spokane I was able to see a true life version of this tale! These ducks lay their eggs a few blocks away from the river. Once the eggs are hatched it is quite the event in navigating their way through the city traffic to the water. I was quite lucky to find this group of people protecting these ducklings as they paraded down to the water. The yellow sign was designed to stop traffic to make way for these ducks.
The next day I saw another mother leading her ducklings down the road.
This time there was no group of people around to protect her and the new borns. Unfortunately I was on my way to an interview and unable to stop to have my own story about making way for ducks!
