ya they dont stay long they eat for a while and then bounce lake to lake .I like mallards and geese especially african geese. I had one, but sadly my dog killed her in 2018.All of the duck pics are just too cute! I love ducks! I need to get some updated pics of my four. I also have a wild Mallard pair that's visiting. A couple of weeks ago, I had a wild Mallard QUAD visiting. ONE duck and THREE Drakes following her like she was the Queen. It was very interesting to see how the drakes each kept a certain amount of distance in order to keep the peace amongst them, but still stayed close enough to not a miss a thing. My favorite part of every single day was going to watch them and feed them. They only stayed for a week. Whenever my ducks had free range of the pond, they'd never allow any wild ducks to stay. Geese on the other hand, frightened them a little bit, so they were allowed by default. (Funny thing, the Canada Goose Gander ran a tight ship while he was here and wouldn't put up with any nonsense from my drakes. He ruled the pond and the drakes didn't question his authority. I'm sure the ducks thoroughly enjoyed his rules
