Caring for an Orphan Duck?

I found a baby duck this morning in a busy street by our church - no where near any place ducks would live. The baby sits easily in the palm of my hand. It is roughly half the size of a dollar bill. After an hour of looking, we went to a RV park, a good distance from our church, that had a pond with one duck. The manager said the lone duck would kill the baby and they had no other ducks. She then stated that about 2 weeks ago, a female mallard arrived there and the lone duck was mean to it, so the lady took the female home. I am wondering if it would be possible that the mallard had a nest and in this daily 100 degree weather we've had, this baby hatched from that nest? Ideas?

You'll need to take the duck to somebody that has some experience. Is there a wildlife rescue center in your area? If you call them they will come and get it.
If there is a farm nearby where someone keeps chickens they may also have some experience with ducks.
