Taken at 6 in the morning and not a great shot, but I was amazed to hear there was a mallard couple in Lincoln Park. There’s no pool or fountain there, so maybe they’re lost. Tim saw the female in the park yesterday, too, when a dog chased her, but he's old and arthritic and she managed to get away.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
