Disco!. Disco Duck!. (70’s song Rick Dees)
Love that she takes off after the second batch is rescued. “Five is plenty, thanks! You can keep the others!”

Yes, once again I get the impression ducks just aren’t that worried about keeping track of every single poppler, and get slightly annoyed when humans are all “wait you forgot one” when they’re in a hurry to get to their next quacktivity.

I assisted in a similar operation many years ago. The grate was exactly the same—perfectly baby duck sized gaps. When I brought the first rescue-ee to the mama duck she attacked me. I guess what I’m saying is:
a) no good deed goes unpunished, and
b) ducks have learned nothing in the last 2 decades

The ducklings (like coal mine canaries) were pretty much the high-CO2 indicators.
