And as is with other open areas in the Villages, we are over building their habitat (see previous thread: Gators eat ducks). Ducks also float in open water areas and, much to our disappointment, and given the amount of time and money spent to try to train them where to poop, they continue to let us down. Maybe just a stern Shooo would have fixed the issue, something to try next time, maybe.
