OBSERVATIONS:
--Saw ducks on east side of main pond in a group of approximately nine; we guess that the mother and four ducklings have joined with the new group of mallards
--The mother and original four swim off into a group; we notice that one of the four has a ring around his neck, so we suspect that one of the four is male and the other three are female
--Mother is still protectively quacking away ibis birds
--Did not see young muscovy or alligator
