Sioux Falls Ducklings Thriving Thanks to Local Sports Shop

Sioux Falls is full of wonderful surprises, especially when it comes to our friends with fur and feathers.

Recently, an expecting Sioux Falls mama duck needed a safe place to welcome her little ones into the world. Thankfully, she found an unusual spot in a local parking lot where someone kept a watchful eye on her and the babies.

Warehouse Manager Tom of Sioux Falls Scheels noticed some new neighbors right outside the warehouse door. A duck made her nest and called Sioux Falls Scheels home until her little ones hatched. She laid six eggs, and Manager Tom made it a priority to watch the new mom and her soon-to-be family.

The pictures on the store's Facebook page are too cute to resist! Tom did an excellent job watching this young family thrive.
