In And Out Of 1. A group of Wheeler students, faculty and alums diverted a ‘mama’ mallard and her brood from a nest near the courtyard — headed toward Hope Street — to a better home instead at the Wheeler Farm Pond this spring. Student photographer Keiran McDonough captured the moment on camera while Science Department head Chris Perkins (pictured) and Otter Brown captured the mom and her ducklings, safely transporting the family to their new home at the Farm.
