Brooklyn Bridge Park has become a favorite spring to summer resting place and breeding ground for ducks. Back in March, I spotted this mallard drake on the uplands of Pier 1. More photos and text follow the jump.
In June I saw this mother duck and three ducklings paddling between Pier 2 and Pier 1.
A mother and four mostly grown youngsters catching some sleep on rocks above the Spiral Pool near Pier 2, about a week ago.

Bottoms up!
