Yesterday we told you about duck ramps U.S. Capitol to help the waterfowl get in and out of the Reflecting Pool.
Well now, a gaggle of ducklings have some eagle-eyed librarians to thank for saving them from the Congress Library roof.

No lame ducks here.
They carry on like it’s business as usual in Washington.
