I think Mallards must be master adaptors.  In Downtown Marietta the Mallards
( many of whom have questionable lineage) take it one step further.  They
walk right through the open door of a restaurant on the Ohio River levee,
only to be chased back out by the wait staff.  I think the people who eat
out on the patio must feed them, or the aroma from inside is too good to
pass up!
