Traffic on Interstate 91 south was stopped by state police on Monday, so a family of ducks could safely get across.
State police on Thursday released body camera footage of the ducks being ushered across the blacktop in the area of exit 33.
Troopers said they received multiple 911 calls about the family.
They responded around 3:45 p.m. on Monday.
They said they moved the ducks out of the roadway and cleared the scene for traffic to continue.
However, the ducks came back into the roadway later on, which caused a second response.
During the second incident, a Department of Motor Vehicles officer was the first unit on scene, and responding troopers said they helped with stopping traffic.
Given the repeat incidents, Hartford animal control was then contacted to help with removing the birds from the highway and relocate them to safety.
No injuries were reported.
