Cause of Ducks' Death in Pool

Department of Energy and the Environment is investigating the deaths of multiple ducks at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, with a wildlife rehab center collecting two of the carcasses for necropsies. The cause remains unclear, but experts consider the recent algae bloom, which turned the pool green and involved toxic blue-green algae, as a possible factor. Officials previously treated the pool with hydrogen peroxide, considered safe for wildlife, as the algae bloom reappeared after recent renovations.
