- LEWISTON — Animal Control Officer Wendell Strout cradles a pair of ducks he rescued Wednesday after three were struck by a car on Main Street. Witnesses reported that a car plowed into the mallards as they waddled into the roadway in front of Pedro O’Hara’s, just up the hill from the Androscoggin River. One of the ducks bolted — as much as ducks can bolt — after it was struck, witnesses said. Strout recovered the other two, attended to their medical needs and took them home. “They’re in my barn tonight,” Strout said Thursday. “They don’t appear to have broken wings or feet, so that’s good.” He said he’d let the birds recover for a few days and then release them into the wild.
