The female mallard that is nesting outside the US treasury building, has hatched her eggs. she has 11 (!) fluffy babies, and they were safely transported, with much pomp and ceremony, to nearby Rock Creek Park: http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-4975230,00.html Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > The female mallard that is nesting outside the US treasury building, > has hatched her eggs. she has 11 (!) fluffy babies, and they were [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh > My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Are there pics of the little ducklings?

The pics aren't that great as it seems they were taken through some fencing that was erected to protect the fowl Ms Cheney & her offspring.

I was hoping that they were using that to get the ducks to the park as the name was fitting. :-) SignatureMargaret Fine mefine@mindspring.com Heh...I've been in that park....this duck family is probably among the few living beings completely safe from muggings ro worse (this park is where they found Chandra-what's-her-name the intern's long-dead body). You couldn't *pay* me to jog or walk in there, much less to see any ducks. Probably good for the duck family's wellbeing....I don't think the muggers are interested in eating ducks. >> The female mallard that is nesting outside the US treasury building, >> has hatched her eggs. she has 11 (!) fluffy babies, and they were [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > couple of times this afternoon.

The park is huge. Like anyplace that large and more or less wild, I'd guess many parts are safer than others, and that time of day would also be a consideration.

I've lived in the area for nearly 40 years, and Rock Creek Park is considered rather low in crime. I can think of more dangerous parks. It doesn't worry me to hike or picnic there. Some of the roads are a bit treacherous if you don't know them -- there are curves where I'd have sworn I was looking at my own taillights. It is a huge park and I've rarely seen one shaped like that (narrow and miles in length!) but maybe I was @ the only bad part of it w/Baltimore friends, who are pretty much oblivious to "iffy"'hoods, considering where they live/work in Baldimer....LOL. >> Heh...I've been in that park....this duck family is probably among the >> few [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > bit treacherous if you don't know them -- there are curves where I'd > have sworn I was looking at my own taillights. >> Heh...I've been in that park....this duck family is probably among the >> few [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > bit treacherous if you don't know them -- there are curves where I'd > have sworn I was looking at my own taillights. LOL Hasn't changed since I learned to drive down there in 1963 then. It really isn't a very good place for a criminal, at least one with a car. Their just aren't that many ways in and out. And if I were into mugging I can think of far better territory in the area. Joggers will beat the tar out of you. Especially the ones that are exercising their pit bulls at the same time.

I also read that there was a four-car motorcade! Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com |
