The duck was no longer in the water as of last Saturday. Local officials believe that the duck was removed due to concerns over Tropical Storm Henri, USA Today reports.

"JOY simply is fowl play. In this day in age of such bitter divisiveness in our country, we wanted to put forth a reminder of our commonalities instead of our differences," the letter states. "Nothing embodies childhood more than being in a warm bath with your rubber ducky – the joy of not having a care in the world other than having to remember to wash behind our ears."
FOX News previously reported that Givens had said that when the duck first appeared, "Everybody loves it. I have no idea who owns it, but it kind of fits Belfast. A lot of people want to keep it here."
