Dawn - We were at YC last week and there were the ducks swimming around with everone else. What a riot. We too have had ducks in our pool. A couple of years ago, one had become very friendly and stuck around for several weeks. We called him L'orange. My DW use to go out on the deck and call him and he would come flying. He would also peck at our slider as if to come in. I refused to let DW let him in. He also followed us on our walks around the neighborhood. The kids got a kick out of it and now every duck we see is L'orange. Good luck with yours when you clean out your pool for the summer. Jay
