Various of mother duck and ducklings swimming in local river after making it to safety STORYLINE A loan officer with good hand-eye coordination took an unlikely family of ducks under his wing and guided them to safety after they tried to fly off a high ledge of a building. A mother duck had built her nest on the ledge of a building in downtown Spokane, Washington, just outside the second floor window of banker Joel Armstrong. After a dozen ducklings hatched, the mother needed to move her day-old babies to fresh water. She herself flew the coop, but left her nervous ducklings to pace the edge of the ledge, too young to fly. That's when Armstrong took his perch on the sidewalk below at 5:45am and waited. The first two dropped like stones. Armstrong kept watch, caught, and corralled the ducklings as he chatted with the mother on the ground to keep her calm. A crowd formed -- initially for an afternoon community parade and then to watch the duck catcher. One at a time with a steady hand and keen eyesight, Armstrong, a mild mannered loan officer, talked an entire family of baby ducks off a ledge. When the family was reunited, Armstrong and others deftly manoeuvred the ducks down the parade route to a proper home, a local river.
