Once again a duck can be seen nesting downtown.
Although ducks have been seen in the planter below the radio station on Ross Street in years past, as well as at city hall, this year a planter next to the fountain in the Ross Street Plaza is also home to a nesting mallard.
A sign asks that people stay back due to nesting ducks. People are also asked to keep their pets away from the planter so the water birds aren香蕉视频直播檛 harmed.

It said they were then taken back to the pond near Okanagan College. No one involved could be reached to confirm details.
