I once, together with a neighbor, escorted a lost family of ducks from our front yard to the safety of the creek. It was a long arduous journey for them, but a pleasant afternoon activity for us. We stopped traffic, encouraged them out of dead ends and eventually were rewarded by the family swimming away, completely non-plussed at the excitement they caused. My neighbor and I became closer friends and we both had a story to tell. The rewards for us were probably just as lasting as it was for the ducklings. I encourage anyone to do the same. We didn't have to capture them, just help. They don't need rescue, just a little enterprise and time from their human neighbors.
