Female Mallard Who Took Up Residence In My Yard
Well, I have had herons - one Great Blue, one Tri-Color, I think, and egrets and ibises. They fish for the frog eggs, I suppose. The Little Wekiva River runs across the street, behind the homes. It's not a river, but more like a wide brook, although with the heavy summer rain it does get a bit... -

At this point it is. It's still a swimming pool, and until we can afford to have it replastered/coated, and can then run the pump, yes, it's basically a big 15' x 30' pond! Very green. If any of the Code Enforcement people see it, or neighbors report it, we're in big trouble. Everyone worries... -

Female Mallard Who Took Up Residence In My Yard
I totally agree! Could my pool being so green have anything to do with my little friends flying in, ya' think? (Ha, ha) Now we have no excuse not to clean it. We had a new roof put on in July, because of Hurricane Irma, and I have no idea what we'll find on the bottom! The contractor didn't... -

I will definitely keep you all posted. wyoDreamer - your explanation of "invasive" to Florida was exactly what I was told. All filled, or illegal to take in, said the shelters. I now know exactly where she must have come from; our City has a heavy equipment facility, on a retention pond, which... -

Thank you everyone! I thought I would get an email when there was a reply - my bad. Anyway, Daisy has been in the pool all this time, but she wasn't even trying to fly, had a hard time getting out, and seemed very lonely. Monday morning, she was quacking & I ran to see what was up, because... -

Female Mallard Who Took Up Residence In My Yard
About 6/1, an injured female mallard showed up in my yard. Something was wrong with her wing. Since Mallards are considered invasive in Florida, no one I called wanted to do any rescue work. Since she was swimming, eating, waddling and flapping while in the pool as if to fly off, I was advised...
