A duck hen sits on a nest on an awning attached to the Sherwood Building in downtown Spokane, Wash. Friday, May 1, 2009. A year ago, the email story of Joel Armstrong, a Sterling Savings Bank employee, saving the falling ducklings from that same nest became a viral hit. With "mama duck's" return, Sterling Savings Bank has started a program called "Bucks for Ducks", which will run May 4 through May 29 to raise money for Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge. Anyone can be entered for a chance at winning cash awards and to name one of the ducklings, for a dollar donation. JESSE TINSLEY THE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW (Jesse Tinsley / The Spokesman-Review)
