Wood ducks take wing
DURHAM -- Linda Cook of Bahama estimates that she has cared for more than 10,000 animals in her 15 years of rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife. But all she could think about Wednesday were nine young wood ducks -- five males and four females. For nearly three months Cook has been their life source, feeding and nurturing them. The ducks were orphaned, and one had surgery to get a steel pin put in its wing. About $5,400 in food and medical bills later, Cook was ready to release them into the wild Wednesday at Durham's Wastewater Treatment Facility in southern Durham. This wasn't her typical sendoff spot. Cook usually releases rehabilitated animals on her own property. But a new wildlife preservation project at the treatment facility caught her interest. It was about two years ago that James Driggers, a plant operator, noticed that the city was mowing acres of grass that weren't used for anything and didn't need to be cut.Council releases list of family-friendly ads
