A wild mother duck in Algoma has Public Works Director Matt Murphy and Police Officer Ron Seidl to thank for saving her six ducklings Tuesday morning.  Murphy says he received a call at about 9:30 am from Officer Seidl who was waved down by a witness that noticed the ducklings fall through a catch basin on Fourth Street near the Algoma Public Library.

Murphy adds that it is not unusual this time of year for young ducks to try crossing the streets after leaving their nests.
