We walked by a duck pond in early February, 2013, and there were 44 ducks in total, at least two different varieties. We had never seen so many ducks there, so we took some photos. Every year there are ducks in this pond, and baby duckling in the spring. Perhaps these ducks found it safer to be in the pond than out in the wild during duck hunting season. Or maybe these are generations of ducks returning for the breeding season.
