Nassau County Police rescue four ducklings on Long Island

No fowl play here.

Long Island cops flew into action Saturday after four ducklings fell eight feet through a grate into a storm drain near Old Sunrise Highway and Sunrise Highway in Massapequa.

Their worried mother was dangerously pacing across traffic in a desperate attempt to rescue her crying babies when Nassau County police arrived, the department said.

After discovering that the sewer grate was unmoveable, the quick-thinking cops ushered the matriarch to safety before playing a series of mother duck calls they found on YouTube to coax them to safety, responding officers told the Daily News.

The six cops used the soothing sounds to lure the ducklings from storm drain to storm drain along a path they mapped out that would lead to a nearby reservoir.

After cleaning the babies, police reunited the babies with their quacking mother in Carmen Creek, a small body of water behind Alfred G. Berner Middle School.

”They swam away upstream towards her voice, and that was the last we saw of them. They swam very purposefully,” responding officer Marisa Caroselli, 48, told the paper.
