Lost Duck in the Storm

Today we received a refugee from the storm...a male domestic duck ( possibly a Rouen). He sort of looks like a mallard with a white ring around the neck. We don't normally house domestic ducks here but occasionally one that needs rescuing finds its way here and we do our best to find a home for it if we can. So far we have managed to place all domestic birds who have found their way here. This duck was found wandering on the Salmon River Road in the middle of the storm last night, but local residents said he had been wandering around for about a week. I'm thinking he strayed from someone's property as he is quite tame. Will post pics soon and let me know if you know anyone who keeps ducks up that way. If we can't find his home, he will be soon looking for a home. Thanks to Justin Martin (volunteer extraordinaire! ) for another middle of the road rescue :).
