I just saw on ABC
news that they are
starting to put up chicken-type wire around the duck area so that
the ducklings can't slip through the barrier. Looks like we are
getting close!!! <4/26/2005>

This
Washington Post article isn't about our duck, but another
duck, in 2003, who walked her babies in DC.
Cute story which you can use for before and after and sequencing
skills!
