STORYLINE:
A duck has built a nest in a mulch pile at the main entrance to the US Treasury Department building, down the street from the White House.
The eggs are expected to hatch this week, at which time the duck will be relocated nearer water.
But until then, the duck will occupy some of Washington's D.C.'s most expensive real estate.
The Secret Service's uniformed division, which provides protection for the White House and Treasury building, has set up metal guard rails to protect the nest, which has attracted the notice of tourists on their way to see the White House.
The duck has been provided with a water bowl and seems oblivious to all the attention.
It sits calmly on its nest on top of the mulch pile that surrounds one of the new trees planted along Pennsylvania Avenue as part of a renovation project.
