OUTAGAMIE COUNTY (NBC 26) — The Outagamie County Sheriff's Department is crediting some of its deputies with saving wildlife.
The sheriff's department shared images of several deputies helping various wild birds out of sticky situations on Thursday.
First, Deputy Bart Barrington, Deputy Shaun O’Bre, and Deputy Paul Langenberg from the department's Courthouse Security Division rescued several ducklings from a sewer outside the courthouse.
In fact, the sheriff's department said Deputy Barrington climbed into the sewer to retrieve them, while other county employees assisted with keeping the other ducklings safe.
Then, also on Thursday, the sheriff's department said Sgt. Ker Yang was called to an injured eagle in far northern Outagamie County. The eagle may have been hit by a car and was injured. He was able to coordinate with the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary and took the eagle there for rehabilitation.
