Hipster Ducks on the Gowanus: Do They Know Prospect Park Is Up the Street?
We've seen plenty of ducks on the Gowanus Canal before (insert your wisecrack here), but we've never seen dozens of ducks in one place on the Big G. We caught the Major Duckage above on Saturday just south of the Carroll Street Bridge and they were still there on Sunday. We think ducks on the Gowanus are cool, but it does lead us to wonder if they know that Prospect Park isn't that far away. And also, given some of the water quality issues, are these ducks, you know, fucked?

what sort of quackery is this.
hopefully this means that the water is a bit cleaner now? usually a return of wildlife signals that conclusion. but then again, they might just die.
This is nothing new - ducks have been showing up each winter on the canal for the past two to three years. Last year there was a lot of wildlife on the canal: ducks, cormorants, crabs, fish and even a three foot white eel. This year the water looks dirtier and there have been less sighting.
this is no surpise to me, there are lots of dicks in new york.
I prefer the ducks to condoms...
