Meet the latest fan of the Los Angeles Public Library, Bookduck. She and her boyduck (that’s his name, from what I can tell) have decided that the shallow fountains in front of downtown’s central library are, yes, just ducky. They are not shay about asking for snacks — in order to get this photo, I had to offer her my fingers, which she tried and rejected.
There are many pigeons and swallows in the garden plaza in front of the library, but these may be the first ducks to really hang out — library staff were charmed, and chased them around with a camera of their own.
