The unexpected recent arrival of a nesting mother duck and her newly hatched brood in the U-M Children's Center playground area off of the North Ingalls Building temporarily stalled construction of new facilities for infant care, as federal guidelines prohibit moving the duck from her nest. Construction will resume after the ducklings leave the nest. Jennie McAlpine, director of Work/Life Programs which oversees the U-M Early Childhood Programs, says "Since we'll be expecting babies at the Children's Center for the first time beginning this September, the arrival of the momma and her ducklings is a good portent."
