I'm pretty sure i avoided a big mistake "rescuing" some ducks today. I was on the way to a friends house when I saw a couple of ducks (pekin drake, mallard hen) on the side of the road, and when i preceded to get out and check out the situation they came right to me looking for feed (pekin bit my finger). they even allowed me to get close enough to catch both of them, and i could have easily took off with them, But i have been watching these ducks for weeks now and they seem to be doing fine until now, they are on recently "cleaned up" mined land where there is several new ponds not more than 15 yards from the road and as i looked around for a sign of there owner i saw that there was a bush-hogged path from a far off house leading to the new pond. So i figured that they had been let loose to free range and so i placed them back on there pond. Hopefully they will stay on there pond and won't venture close to the road again now that i have given them a little scare. I guess it's just a lesson that before "rescuing" anything you should take in all considerations and view points before taking them. I'll still be keeping an eye on them just to be sure that there not going to venture back to the road and if they do i think ill go and talk to the owner to see what i can do for them.
