Unlike many people, we did not watch the Super Bowl. Instead, we took a walk to Hermann Park. The weather was a little cool, but it didn’t deter us from heading out. Having some old, but not quite moldy flat bread, we decided that since we weren’t in the mood to eat it, maybe the ducks would be. As we reached the reflection pool, a pair of ducks saw us and immediately starting moving in our direction. We fed them for a little bit until some friends joined in. One duck even decided to jump out of the water a get a little closer. The problem for this duck was that the edge was sloped, so it was hard for the bread to not bounce away.

As we made walked farther along towards the small lake, we were met by a very pleasant duck that had dog-like characteristics. It sat in front of us (probably 2-3 feet away), “wagging” its behind. It anxiously looked up at us, waiting for a treat. We tossed piece after piece of bread, which is excitedly ate. I’ve never seen such a duck. Anyway, it made my day.
