We start this episode of Hear in the City at Los Angeles' historic Echo Park Lake, the site of a $65 million water quality project that has temporarily displaced dozens of birds and turned the ponds of lotus flower into a giant construction site. From there, we follow the ducks and geese to their new home in Mac Arthur Park where we catch catfish in the middle of the city and finally find a free lunch at Langer's Deli in honor of their 65th anniversary.
