A Woodbury resident found a duck waddling near her home Tuesday, took it home, and put it in her bathtub, where it went “quack, quack.” According to a police report: The woman, who lives at the 1700 block of Regatta Drive, told police she saw the duck flying around and land on a road near her house.
