“When the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool was replenished this month after a $14 million-plus renovation, ducks quickly took to the water. Tourists delighted at the sight of ducklings paddling through the pool,” the Washington Post reports.
“But then, over the weekend: a disturbing discovery.”
“A duck carcass was photographed floating in the algae-filled water… Then, two other dead ducks were found in a pond at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall — roughly 250 feet from the Reflecting Pool.”
