In honor of Donald Duck's 65th birthday June 9, these ducks made
a pitstop at the Chevron Station on I-16 near Swainsboro June 2 on their
way south to visit The Duck at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
There have been numerous reports from fowl watchers in the area of heightened duck migration.
"Until I realized that it was Donald Duck's birthday, I couldn't understand where are all these ducks were coming from," said Ima Quack, an area resident. "My husband and I hoped to travel to Disney World in honor of Mr. Duck's birthday, but it seems the visiting ducks have booked all the waterfront property."
Donald Duck currently resides in Duckburg with his three nephews Huey,
Dewey and Louie. Mr. Duck debuted in "The Wise Little Hen" in
1934 and went on to earn critical acclaim in "The Three Caballeros"
in 1945, among other films.
