That's great!
Where I live all the backyards open to a bike trail which is a city park with an oxbow lake in the middle. My neighbors all feed the ducks (It's against the law I heard). Those ducks are so spoiled.

My wife and I fed our ducks only ONCE because they got violent over my Pringles chips I was feeding them. When I told my mother, she was upset. Told me chips were not healthy for ducks. Over all, a pretty bad experience. The ducks got mad... my mom got mad... I was breaking the law, so uncle sam got mad.. everyone was mad.....

You've got ducks. Just up the hill from me, I have these kitties for neighbors. Caught on their wildlife cam mounted on the side of their driveway.

She'll probably be back next year to raise another clutch.
