An unlikely visitor has shown up again at a Tulsa church. A female mallard has made her nest at Fellowship Congregational Church near 29th and Harvard.

It's not just her; she has several eggs in her nest, too. The church says their little friend has built a nest near their church for several years, but this is the first year she's made her nest so close to the sidewalk.

Church member Janet Storts: "we practice the radical of Jesus, he didn't turn anyone away and we don't either. She may be a duck, but she's welcome here."

Members of the church say after the nest was discovered, they tried to protect the duck's privacy.

They hope one day to see the mom and her kids waddle to a nearby lake.
