Duck
For a time it seemed as if we would never see 50 degree and
above weather again, but it is here. Finally, it’s getting warmer – the
sun is out. The grass is growing. The flowers are blooming. And
most importantly, Lake Mendota is melting. And a lake that is water
instead of ice is good for everyone. Especially the ducks. Finally they
can go for swims and mate. This means Duck Dates. The brand new
duck couples can swim around and prepare for the families that they
are building together. The only problem that they run into to is all
the debris and litter that has ended up in the lake. The clutter is
disruptive to the ducks and will be unsafe for their new born
ducklings. The best way to keep them safe and healthy is for the
students and community members of UW- Madison to throw away
or recycle their garbage. That way ducks can happily go on their
duck dates and have happy duck families.
