Mother duck and ducklings in your yard?

Hey neighbors! Keep an eye out for a mother duck and seven ducklings last seen on McKinley near Walsh. The duck family was first spotted Tuesday night near Walsh and Colfax. A passing SBPD officer stopped traffic so the ducks could cross LaSalle, but then we lost track of them near Grace Bible Church. We think maybe they might be looking for water. We've seen ducks in recent months, but I haven't seen a whole family of young ones before this.
