Recently I lost two fish from my above ground pond. About the same time,
several ducks were seen around neighborhood swimming pools. Can't say for
sure that the ducks had breakfast on my fish, but what would be the best way
to keep them away from my pond?

Thanks for your help.

Short of buying or borrowing a friendly labrador I think harassment would work.
Just opening the sliding glass door at my house was enough to send my duck
visitors out of the yard and not coming back.
or
- netting over the pond
- an electric fido shock fence
- a motion activated sprinkler

Depends on the type of duck. Some eat water grasses and other veggies,
while some are diving ducks that do eat fish. You can tell the difference
on the dinner table.
