RIP- our little Common Merganser, "Quackers Obama"

This little guy was resecued by my sweet husband last Saturday. He was struggling and almost drowned with no parents or brothers and sisters in sight- the duck, not Claytie. He lasted at least until midnight the next day. He died somewhere between midnight and 4am when I woke up to check on the little guy. Summer has cried for a long time every evening since.
