Default Watch Out For Ducklings!

I was returning home today from golf and driving my cart along Talley Ridge Drive and there was a mama duck with her brood of about 8 ducklings crossing Talley Ridge Drive by one of the golf course ponds.

I put my cart in the middle of one lane and stood on the other side of the ducks in the middle of the other lane until they had all crossed the road. Only one car driver appeared angry at my action (I assume that is why he gave me the finger) but the other cars on both sides didn't appear to have any problem with my road guard action. Most of the drivers smiled.

I am not sure how the Sheriff would have appreciated it but basically I don't care.

This is the time of year when ducks walk their babies across streets. Please be careful. Thanks.
