Banker saves ducklings........a good news story
 
A wonderful little story reported by ABC News about a banker who seeing a dozen ducklings hatched on a ledge, and investigating from the internet what will happen next, goes downstairs to catch the ducklings as they jump in response to their mother's call.

(place your cursor over the YouTube icon on the little screen below, and you'll see it'll say "watch on youtube"; do that and you'll get a better resolution than this truncated video.)

That happened with some of the ducks over at the Marriott. I went over to check the pool one night and they were all in the hot tub. Took the skimmer net and scooped them out. They would have cooked cause they could not get up over the side. But they sure are messy.

THe link showed up in your quote. It is a quirk of Youtube URLs that the link does not always show up in the original post.

TOTV admin has addressed this but I don't think there is a fix.
