Baby Ducklings Choose 17th Over Constitution Avenue

How often do you get to assist little ducklings to cross the road? Not that often. The mother really wanted to cross Constitution Avenue. There was a police car ready to assist and an officer trying to corral them. I was fortunate to come upon them when they were at the corner. The mom got a little flustered and headed out onto 17th. The police officer in the car turned on his lights and blocked off the road. I helped the officer on foot guide them across the road. He had to scoop up one of the ducklings that couldn't hop onto the curb. Cutest thing ever! The officer in the car said, "Are you sure we shouldn't get them across Constitution?" But the mother duck had already led her troops behind some bushes along the Organization of American States.
