So what’s a duck to do when it needs to lay an egg or two and there’s no room at the Inn?

Well, this determined mallard hen decided that the Whispering Winds Motel in Lincoln City looked like the perfect place to raise a brood and no “No Vacancy” sign was going to keep her out.

According to a staff member the young duck was “walking around the steps in the parking lot and next thing we knew she was nipping at a housekeeper who didn’t see her.” The mom to be had set up her nest in the planter located on the entry steps”

The staff have been vigilant to let guests and staff know about their new guest and to give her the celebrity treatment she so richly deserves. They ask visitors to give the momma plenty of room and to not offer her any food. 

It is not known at the moment how many eggs she is sitting on. Details to follow.
