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.

Looks like a pretty cool place to hang out so I can see why they keep coming back. Fantastic capture of your unwelcome visitors Jeff. #1761017

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

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

What's not to like - Cool sparkling water, great surroundings, some quality time alone - all that's missing is a catering service! Great photo, commentary and suggestions from the "helpful and sympathetic" BP crowd! :) Many congrats your wonderful Gold Win, Jeff! #12042295
