Ducks rescued from Florida storm drain

Seminole County deputies were called to an Oviedo neighborhood to rescue ducklings that fell into a storm drain.

Wandering ducklings fell into a storm drain in Oviedo, but luckily Seminole County deputies were there to save the day. 

It all went down in an Oviedo neighborhood last weekend, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said. After analyzing the situation, the deputies sprung into action to get the ducklings back to safety with their mother.

"We think a momma duck made the call as her ducklings fell into the storm drain. Without hesitation, our Deputies worked together to get the ducklings out of the storm drain," authorities wrote on Facebook. 

Deputies used what appeared to be a fishnet to get the ducklings above ground as they were heard lightly chirping and quacking for help. One deputy was even seen hopping in the hole, determined to get them out.
