Where to?
Search for a place and the map fills in with spots where people have seen mallards, wood ducks, geese and other park regulars.
Sightings are reported by volunteers on iNaturalist. A sighting means someone saw ducks there. It does not mean feeding is allowed, so check the park's rules.
Found your ducks? Skip the sandwich bread.
People bread is bad for ducks. Duck Bread is a floating treat made for them, in a pouch that fits a picnic basket.
Pond manners
Check the rules first
Some parks do not allow feeding wildlife. Look for signs or the park's website before you go.
Toss it on the water
A handful at a time, on the water and not the bank. Ducks eat it where they are comfortable.
A treat, not a meal
Ducks find most of their own food. When they lose interest, stop and take the rest home.
Let them come to you
No chasing and no picking up. Geese in particular like their space.
