Boston has its ducks in the Public Garden, and Memphis has its ducks in the fountain
of the Peabody Hotel. Washington has plenty of ducks, too, as well as geese—and since
this is spring that also means a lot of ducklings and goslings. They can be found

office building—but one of the best places to spot the adorable little balls of fluff
is on the Potomac River, especially up river near Georgetown.

Georgetown Waterfront Park. The video is guaranteed to cheer you up on this dreary
day.
