There's a pond here at my job, not an overly large pond but I guess it's decent. There's quite a few smaller ducks and a couple of - I'm guessing - mallards. Also 2 swans, 20 geese and about 14 (mostly neutered) cats a bit away inside the facility.
There's also 1 white muscovy duck. He's been here around 14 years. His mate got run over by a tractor-trailer 10+ years ago. He stays here year round, even in the winter. It was down to -15ish a few times earlier this year and he just stayed huddled up next to our office. He only flies in emergencies and prefers to limp around with an impressive limp. He's well fed since everyone kind of feeds everything around here. Dry water fowl food, cat food, bread (...yeah). Is it possible to get him a friend of his own ilk or no? He's friendly and wags his tail when you come up to him and I just feel badly for the old chap.

I'll have to make him a winter shelter this year.
