Description

As much as I love wildlife I really don't care for ducks in the pool - Every Spring a duck couple returns to our home and hangs out at the pool a few times each day; sometimes even enjoying the spa.

Great capture! The title and backstory gave me a giggle. We have ducks visit us every spring to nest and it is fun to watch them take care of their eggs. BUT, I can understand you not wanting them in your pool!! #11894025

Janet Criswell level-deluxe April 24, 2021

Agree with all, Jeff! Is there a duck repellent? #11894033
