Duckling Paparazzi

Aww, ducklings!Times reporter Tina Kelley acts on a tip from the Frick Museum about the family of ducks who make their way across Fifth Avenue from the museum to the Park. For the past three years, a family of mallard ducks have ducklings each year in the museum's courtyard and then make the pilgrimage, with Frick housekeeping staff escorting them.

Kelly references the seminal children's book about ducks, Make Way for the Ducklings, but that's set in Boston - it's no Fifth Avenue Duck Story.

Visit the Frick.

A goose used to lay eggs and hatch them next to a tree close to the main entrance of my Bridgewater, NJ office. the security guards shooed away all nosy onlookers so the goose is left peacefully to her (I assume)task. After the geeselings? are born, other geese will come and join in the procession to make the half mile trek to the pond when they lived. Never knew if the goose just happened to have the urge to lay some eggs at that tree or if she lick that spot because she liked to have the security guards on duty. She did return year after year like the mallard.
