PHOTOS: Street crossing photo by Jeremy Pelofsky via Twitter; White House ducks by Byron Tau

Jeremy Pelofsky’s photo of a mother duck and her ducklings crossing a busy DC street went viral after he posted it on Twitter Tuesday, landing in a story in The Washington Post.

Pelofsky was on his way to work when he came upon the ducks marching the busy streets of the nation’s capital, at 17th and L streets NW.

Twitter user Byron Tau also snapped a photo of some ducks on the lawn of the White House later on Tuesday. No one is sure if the ducks are one and the same. Google maps clocks it as a nine-minute walk from 17th and L to the White House.
