Sittin' on a Pretty Penny?


A random solo duck had built a nest in a corner along one side of the IRS building (see co-worker's photo)—on the last block on my walk to work. So I was told by IRS workers exiting the building one day, she was just sitting on her eggs waiting for them to hatch. (I actually never saw an egg poking out, fyi...) I rather enjoyed seeing her there daily, never in a different spot each morning.
Well, a few days ago, as I neared her spot, I peered around the corner, and she was gone! Nothing left but the nest! Suspiciously there were no broken egg shells... I’m thinking she was just camping out in front of the IRS building until she received her $600 stimulus check then took off to Pentagon City Mall.
