Looking for a handout

This mallard and his mate were hanging out in the reflecting pool across from the US Capitol waiting for tourists to give them a treat. Luckily, nobody did.

He's a beauty, your right we don't want them to be dependent on handouts.

The color on him is incredibly captured. I’m glad no one was feeding them, but I am sure someone did eventually. V

He sure is keeping an eye on you. It really is best to remember that they are wild animals and not to feed them.

A wonderful photo of this handsome male. Great clear water too. Good that it was treat-less.
