Awesome. Submitted my local canal, just been past a whole cabal* of ducks on my evening run.<p>* Wrong collective term but 1) it&#x27;s a good word and 2) there&#x27;s something schemey about large collections of ducks. Foul* business is being carried out.<p>*Sorry.

It&#x27;s a nice geolocation list of worldwide duck parks...thought it was actual live stream duck watching...that would be cool too

Can we get a Geese variant for when you&#x27;re feeling angry instead of tired?

A Dutch bird protection organization has web cams of bird nests in the Netherlands: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vogelbescherming.nl&#x2F;beleefdelente" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vogelbescherming.nl&#x2F;beleefdelente</a><p>Also here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;visdeurbel.nl&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;visdeurbel.nl&#x2F;</a> is an awesome service. Migratory fish get stuck at sluices in the city of Utrecht, that aren&#x27;t opened much this time of year. So they installed an underwater web cam -- please watch it and when you see a lot of fish, please press the door bell so the sluice guard knows to open it.<p>Unfortunately it&#x27;s just getting dark here right now.

Pretty cool. I like ducks.<p>One bug: the pin for &quot;The Pond at Central Park&quot; incorrectly shows up near 64th &amp; 1st. Looks like there are some others that aren&#x27;t accurate too.

I once had a channel on twitch for streaming my hummingbird feeder when it was a hot spot. That’s no longer up but I was part of a “team” of other animal channels (which had many ducks!)-<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.twitch.tv&#x2F;team&#x2F;animals" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.twitch.tv&#x2F;team&#x2F;animals</a>

The last time I watched ducks at the duck pond I saw 3 attempted duck-on-duck drownings

Would be cool if submitting locations were a bit easier.<p>eBird is a good place to look for ducks too.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ebird.org&#x2F;hotspots" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ebird.org&#x2F;hotspots</a>

Nice that it uses OpenStreetMaps. Still three requests to Google URLs and other trackers. :(

Delightful. I really like the trend of single-purpose, “artsy” websites, it feels like there’s been more of them recently.<p>...someone should make a site, which lists them all.

It&#x27;s not ducks, but the annual Crane migration you can see in several (ideal) areas across central Nebraska is a game changer.

For those that aren’t familiar, there is also ebird.org<p>This app is a much more straightforward than navigating ebird’s hotspot UX though.

The south side of SF bay is pretty awesome for watching ducks. But it&#x27;s really the waterfront network of trails that are the ticket. That duckpond at Bayshores definitely attracts a diverse set, but you can find them all on a nice walk, with fewer zillionaires buzzing overhead on approach to the Bayshores airport.

I&#x27;ve been seeing ring-necked mallards in my driveway. They&#x27;re bold urban birds; they don&#x27;t take flight when a car approaches. I have to honk at them to get them to move.<p>Usually, crows are the only large birds nearby. The mallards are new.

Status UPD:<p>I&#x27;m sorry for this experience, but we just can&#x27;t add all locations right now :(<p>We were adding the locations to the map manually. After the app went viral, we got over 600 new places over 24 hours, so we can&#x27;t handle it this way anymore. We are working on automating this process, and as soon as we&#x27;ll figure it out, we are going to add all the locations, including yours, to the map.<p>Thank you for your contribution! It means a lot to us. Please, don&#x27;t worry, we will add your submissions as soon as we can.

Awesome. Just submitted Sunnyvale Community Center location, which has a pond with a lot of ducks.

I would love to see how this was implemented. Is this on GitHub or equivalent somewhere?

I really find this amusing. It&#x27;s hard to explain why, but the author&#x27;s sense of humor certainly overlaps with mine! What an awesome and extremely useful site.

I wanted to add a location but I can&#x27;t get the location on the website itself? Why not just coordinates anyway?<p>Too much effort.

Do I post the last known sighting of Bigflipper, or will that just make him harder to find...

if you&#x27;re at sea, here is a convenient map of the great rubber duck spill: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Friendly_Floatees" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Friendly_Floatees</a>
