We’ll have a story about this in tomorrow’s paper. Below is a summary written by one of our reporters. On the left is a photo of a dead mallard floating in the lake taken today by our photographer Bea Ahbeck.

Something is killing the ducks in Newark. At least 10 ducks have been found dead in recent days at the lake in Newark. Maintenance workers were out there Thursday picking up at least four dead ones. City maintenance supervisor says there have been at least 9 found in recent days, but Thursday was the first report from the public. An investigation is ongoing. The Ohlone Wildlife Rehab and Refuge center is involved.
