A while ago, a poster solved a problem with visiting Brush Turkeys by
leaving a few large toy rubber snakes around her yard. Apparently, the
turkeys were afraid of the snakes and chose to forage elsewhere. I've also
heard that hanging a large cutout of the silhouette of a Peregrine Falcon
will keep wild birds out of a garden, but I don't know how well that
works.

i might see if number two son might let me borrow some of his rubber snakes!
not sure if ducks are as dim as brush turkeys. we will see!

thanks trish.
