3) This is the kind of magical moment you think can only be found in children’s books. In particular, the 1941 classic “Make Way for Ducklings.” But we got our very own baby-animal hero’s journey here in Healdsburg yesterday, when a mother duck and her 10 ducklings, “all in a line,” stepped into the crosswalk of Dry Creek Road at Grove Street, near Plank Coffee. This epic scene was witnessed around 11 a.m. by Shunya and Keith Anding, who live in the hills west of town. “Traffic was stopped,” Shunya says, and “as we went by could see the fluffy babies didn’t know how to jump the curb.” Her husband Keith then hopped out of the car to try and rescue them, Shunya says — “but by that time they had found their way into the bushes at Hotel Trio, and hopefully on their way to nearby Foss Creek.” A happy ending, it seems, for our very own Earth Day fairytale in town.
