Valley farmers save 50,000 ducks with help from Cal Waterfowl (pics and video)

While harvesting 350 acres of wheat, farmer Deke Dormer collected 819 eggs in his field. The eggs were then placed in egg cartons, taken to incubators for hatching, and will be returned to wetlands when the ducklings are old enough to survive on their own. It is part of an egg-salvage program that has saved 50,000 eggs
