My friend bought a home that backs to a small pond and since then a duck has appeared and adopted her! It's a love hate relationship--the duck seems to have taken her as its property! Anyways...she lives in Louisiana and has mentioned a few behaviors. It doesn't leave for more than a couple days at a time. It will fly to a neighboring pond less than 1/2 mile away but doesn't seem to fly well. It will sometimes have another duck with it in their pond but is usually alone. It is quite domestic and runs/flies to her back door in the morning. As far as color goes it is almost all white with some tan. I have seen the mention of Amesbury or Pekin...is this possible ID? I'm really into bird ID but I never really got into ducks. The behavior is quite strange--she is truly concerned that the duck would go after someone if they were visiting. Let me know what y'all think is going on with this overprotective duck!
