Make Way For Ducklings, Milton! The Duck Parade is on their way!!

Ducks Back to the Pond Ceremony!


Watch this adorable duckling parade through a Milton elementary school








The mother duck has been making her way from the school’s courtyard to a nearby pond for over a decade. 


Each year, the school provides sanctuary to the nesting mother duck inside the interior courtyard. When the ducklings hatch, the school helps to guide them to safety.
Principal Sheila Kukstis told the Globe students and faculty look forward to the parade every year.






How Do You Remember The Nightingale? Listen to Hans Christian Anderson For His Story.

Hans Christian Andersen is fascination with this amazing singing bird of the North – that will challenge any similar song from more southern based jungleturfs – inspired him to his Tale of The Nightingale with its amazing wide repertoire.






"The Nightingale" (Danish: "Nattergalen") is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about an emperor who prefers the tinkling of a bejeweled mechanical bird to the song of a real nightingale. When the Emperor is near death, the nightingale's song restores his health. Well received upon its publication in Copenhagen in 1843 in New Fairy Tales, the tale is believed to have been inspired by the author's unrequited love for opera singer Jenny Lind, the "Swedish nightingale".
