Two days ago, as I was walking around Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park, I noticed this duck perched on top of a gravel heap. It struck me as odd that it would be there, so I moved closer to it. As I did, it moved a little, wary of me, but then stopped, at which point I took this picture. It wasn't till later, when I uploaded the photo to my computer to see it larger, that I noticed that there was an egg at its' feet.
The next day I returned to the spot, and the egg was still there.
