Summary

[edit]
Description

Ramps are installed to safely and effectively assist ducklings in and out of the water.

Broods, or families of Mallard ducks, call the Capitol Reflecting Pool home each year. The pool serves as a wildlife corridor, linking two or more areas of similar wildlife habitat. Migrating Mallards use the area as a stopover point in the spring and fall. Corridors are critical links allowing the movement of animals and the continuation of viable populations.

The Capitol Reflecting Pool is located at the eastern end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Six acres in size, it occupies over half of the area called Union Square.
