Protecting the waterfowl

A Cibolo Creek duck puts its beak under water as it fishes for food.

With restaurants named after them and articles written about them, many residents and visitors of Boerne have come to adore the ducks and geese meandering in and around Cibolo Creek. They are most commonly seen waddling along River Road, swimming in the creek, or nesting under trees – unboth-ered by the majority of people enjoying a stroll along the water’s edge and at River Road Park.

The ducks living along Cibolo Creek are favored not only by visitors and residents but are a top concern of Boerne Animal Services. For nearly a decade, Boerne Animal Services has prioritized the health and population of all waterfowl, partner-ing with Kendalia Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation to ensure the birds are tended to in the case of any injury, misplacement or other concern that a citizen may call about.

Stefanie Fisher with Boerne Animal Services said the waterfowl are “an integral part of our city, and we aim to keep our animals safe and healthy.”
