Ducklings at National Geographic Headquarters

This morning, National Geographic Society employees spotted new arrivals in the courtyard--mallard ducklings!

Ken Geiger, senior editor for technology at National Geographic magazine, snapped this picture. Two ducklings were in the courtyard's decorative pool at the time, and after taking the photo, Geiger and another staffer fashioned a duckling ramp to help them climb out.

i think the ducks are sooo cute! i can not believe they were in front of your building. Did you ever help them leave? Are you going to feed them? Thank you for caring.
