In my area there area 12 ponds in a 1 mile radius of mine but I never have any geese or ducks. I do see as many as 100 geese in the nearby ponds & an occasional mallard or wooduck but not on my pond. I am retired & at my pond every day along with my 2 dogs that keep the wildlife chased off at least during the day.I never see any droppings from geese or ducks either. The only big bird I ever see is one blue herring that comes to visit each day & the dogs chase it of right away. Is it a bad thing to never have any ducks? I was kinda happy about that for I sure dont want the mess they leave like in all the other ponds.I have had mother geese with young ones attack me on occasion just going for walks around nearby ponds. I had to yell & kick at them to get them to leave me alone. I dont need momma geese chasing me all around so I feel I am better off without them.
