But let's get some feedback from someone that actually knows what they are talking about...
That surely doesn't mean me, but here's my $.02 worth anyway.
I'd make a larger pond up near the home site, so the pond can be viewed from the house, catching a LOT of water, with at least one marshy area on it. I make another marshy area for duck production using one of the other low areas, with the remainder of the low light blue spots connected by a stream/ditch, with water control risers and drains at each one. I would re-sculpture the remaining low areas so they could be seasonally flooded, using water from the large pond if necessary.
I'd drain the low areas in the Spring, plant duck food plots and flood them in time for hunting season.
