Journalist reports on harm to ducks from reflecting pool

Story by David McAfee
Raw story

A journalist went down to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to see Donald Trump's renovation up close, and the most damning review came from the wildlife. The reflecting pool is "worse than you think" it is, ex-lawyer Aaron Parnas says in a video posted this weekend that drew nearly 40,000 views. "The ducks won't swim in it at all."

….

The footage also shows what taxpayers are now funding to undo the damage. National Park Service crews in protective gear work the edges with aeration pumps and vacuums, scooping algae out of a basin that turned within days of being refilled. Parnas notes that ducklings perched on the side of the pool won't even get in the water.

3. The journalist who reported on ducks not liking the new green reflecting pool is a terrorist.

There are special FBI and DHS forces on route to his home now.

.... I can't think of anything funny to add to this stupidity.

4. Scooping the algae out until

the excess nutrients (from the Potomac river water they filled it with) are depleted is what will work. Somebody must have finally clued them in. Algae growth will be minimal after the excess is removed.

But I do wonder why the ducks are avoiding it. Chemicals? too much activity? Feet entangled in filaments?
