Nice to see local govt doing something to help animals for a change. Howard County Police SWAT teams have killed at least two family dogs during botched raids. They don't seem to put *that* on their Facebook page!

And don't you just love Ken Ulman's grandstanding?

I'm sure that his "intervention" in this matter will be among the highlights of his next annual report. Right along w/ his electric car charging stations!

I'm not certain if it is the same Mallard hen which is the guilty patry, but a clutch of hatchlings has appeared @ "the Mall in Columbia" for the past 3 years. And for how many more before that, I do not know. Most people are unaware that ducks will return to breed in the vicinity in which they are born & I viewed a hen being wooed by 2 drakes in the 'pond/fountain' in front of LL Bean just this afternoon.

That's interesting, if you see the hen again take a picture and we'll compare markings with the picture above.
