Secret Service Job Not All It's Quacked Up To Be
WASHINGTON - Secret Service agents know it's their job to
serve and protect. But I bet they never expected to be serv-
ing and protecting a duck. Usually it's just Washington VIPS
that get Secret Service protection, but now a mama mallard
is getting the special treatment. The duck recently took up
residence outside the Treasury Department and is watching
over her nine eggs. The sidewalk has been fenced off by
officials and the Secret Service is keeping an eye on the
nest. Officials expect that once the eggs hatch, the mother
duck will most likely parade her ducklings to the nearest
body of water. Of course, a Secret Service escort will be on
hand for that event if needed.
