Public Works crews for the city of Kirkland rescued a family of ducks from a catch basin by Columbia Athletic Center near Juanita Bay Park on April 20.

Someone reported hearing “quacking” near the athletic club and called the city. When crews arrived they found 11 ducklings stuck in the catch basin. The stranded ducklings had fallen through the grate and were separated from their mother.

Crews removed the grate, reunited the family and sent them on the way.

The 11 ducklings are reunited with their mother.
