Thursday's weird news.
Marblehead, MA
Officer Lori Cameron rescued five baby ducklings, among a flock of 11 ducklings, who fell into a storm drain on Cloutman’s Lane at 10:18 a.m.

Cameron said the mother duck was frantic, hearing the babies quacking in the drain, but a contractor working in the area lifted the drain cover and she used a pool skimmer to fish the ducklings up, one at a time, to a delighted Mama Duck. The incident followed a similar incident on Orne Street about two weeks earlier.

Also:
A duckling got stuck in a manhole near 49 Norman St. at 12:28 p.m. and it was reported that the mother duck was “very angry.” The animal officer and DPW responded and made Mama Duck happy
