The handout

As soon as this man sat down on the grass at Constitution Gardens, mallards from all over the place rushed over for a handout. I had the feeling he must feed them every day because they certainly seemed to know him. Tim and Queenie are off in the distance by the water.

Ducks and dogs all know when there is a treat dispenser in the vicinity. Cool shot.

It seemed like every garden or park would have a character like this man ... reminds me of the pigeon lady in Home Alone .. lol! V

I thought I recognized them! This is all too common. A great shot documenting the frenzy. V

He might enjoy it, but he probably isn't doing the ducks any favors in the long run.

I'm sure he does feed them. Nice shot. Bread is not good for waterfowl.

That's a lot of ducks! Hope it's not bread! Bread is very bad for ducks and geese.
