For once a good reason to get stuck: Green Line stopped to save a baby duck

Update: Yes, it is a bit early for baby ducks. The duck was an adult female hooded merganser.

David Yamada took a screen capture of a Green Line delay message at 9:36 a.m. today:

Make way for ducklings! I am happy to deal with that service delay.

A different sort of trolley problem.

Adorable.

The link to "The duck" leads to an account that has nothing at all related to this article. Perhaps the post of the duck photo has been deleted??

I mistakenly linked to the poster's overall Twitter/Whatever feed, not to the specific post showing the duck. Fixed.

... when even ducks lie about their age?

Another t failure. Nothing new.

Not really sure how they're supposed to avoid "animal stuck in tracks".

Just imagine if the headline were "Green Line trolley runs over baby duck", there'd be an angry mob outside of 10 Park Plaza.
