this is what happens when people throw their garbage in the lake at Prospect Park. The rescuing was taking place while the video being shot today. Notice that the rescuer was hiding the net because the duck will run away if it sees the net. Video by Gus Keri.

These videos should be shown in the public schools so kids don’t litter. Have to make the kids more aware of the needs of the wildlife in the park.

Nearly all the replies here are asking if the rescue was successful, and I ask the same thing. You surely can’t expect to post something like this and not be able to provide an update. Thanks.

Coincidence—as your video came up on my feed, my YouTube playlist played Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)".
I used that 🎶 for a video I shot & edited in college in the early '90s, using stills + video of pollution and animals suffering from our trash. Will we learn?😔

How sweet is the sight of this mallard having a good meal? This poor bird was spotted a week ago in Prospect Park with a plastic band stuck around her mouth and head. She was alert and active but unable to feed herself.

Update the duck was released after tender loving rehab on 4-9-24.
Btw the band around the ducks head was marked NYC Parks dept.
