We have a duck family living in the apartment's swimming pool.  Last year they were here, and were determined to be here, even though steps were taken to try to convince them to leave.

I haven't seen papa duck around lately (the cur!).  Mama is on her own with all 12 little ducklings.

Last year, it was found out the hard way that baby ducklings can get into the pool, but they cannot get back out.  By the time we all knew what was happening, most of them had perished.

This year one of the maintenance guys built ramps for the babies to get out of the water!  As well as using it for a ramp, they like to sit on it.
