The interesting thing on my small pond is that the ducks seem to take turns. In the AM it is the wood ducks turn, from 10 am until noon it is the Mallards turn, from 2 pm until 4 pm it seems to be the Hooded Mergansers turn. Somewhere in there the Herron comes in for a bit and then shows back up around dusk. Its like a regular amusement park out there, but every one of the groups always comes at their own time and keeps to themselves. Nature is very interesting that way!
...another facet of "pond envy".
