Waltham has gone to the ducks
Children's Hospital Boston at Waltham recently welcomed 12 new baby ducklings to their campus. However, the duck family, which has been residing in the reflecting pond, decided to relocate to the river across the street shortly thereafter. So Children's at Waltham security guard, Brendan, stopped traffic to allow them safe passage to their new home.
