Ali Wolff if they were just grabbed and released without mom, likely not. Predators pick them off pretty fast, mom is their only defense. Not to mention they’re only a day or two old so they don’t know anything.

There is a pond at the golf course across the way that they are trying to make their way to. They did this last year. My fiance lives in that area and a couple stopped traffic to help them across the main road on Lone Mountain. I'm not able to make it over that way right now. Can someone help guide them on their way?

Shay Kwasneski Los Prados isn’t far, mom should move with the babies there eventually. Or if someone wants to chaperone them towards the water (but slowly so mom doesn’t get spooked and leave) but terrible advice from AC, mallards don’t adopt babies and will them. Just read the full comment. if the babies are there, I’d capture them again.

What if I see a duck or goose in a place where it shouldn’t be? Duck, duck, goose! Nevada is home to many different species of waterfowl including mallards, Canada geese, and even wood ducks! Seeing these species in urban environments and away from water may seem odd, but it is totally normal. These species, especially mallards and Canada geese are a common sight in urban areas and can be found away from water sources. This can be especially true during the spring when they have their young. Both species have been known to nest in some pretty odd locations. Parking structures? Yes! On top of telephone poles? Absolutely! Even on lofty roofs? We’ve seen it! Keeping all this in mind, it’s important to recognize that our urban environments make great habitat for these animals. Here are some things you can do to help our waterfowl neighbors: Be vigilant when driving in areas where you know waterfowl may congregate. Leave nests and young wildlife alone. Young wildlife’s best chance for survival is with their parents, never remove them. Never feed ducks and geese bread, it is extremely harmful to them and can cause an irreversible condition called ‘Angel Wing’ which can render them flightless. Remember, wildlife knows what they are doing and will stay in an area if it has the right habitat for them. Though we may question their choices, leave it to them to find their way!

Those babies didn’t fly, so there must be water pretty close.
