MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
TO: Chief, Logistics Services Division/OL
FROM:
Chief, Space Maintenance Facilities Branch/LSD/OL
SUBJECT: Duck and Ducklings - Center Court
After consultation with the National Zoo and the National
Wildlife Federation, it was determined that the capturing and
relocation of the Mallard Duck and her three (3) remaining
ducklings to a more suitable natural habitat would improve
their chances of surviving.
The Wildlife Federation recommended that we contact
Joan Parker, a Wildlife Rehabilitator for Birds, to live-
trap the ducks. She was contacted and she arranged with
Hendrick Smock, also a Wildlife Rehabilitator, to capture
the ducks.
At 1930 hrs. on 23 May, the ducks were successfully
captured and removed from the compound and housed overnight
at the Old Dominion Animal Hospital. From there they will
be taken to a bird sanctuary near Sterling, Va. and released_
