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

It'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're feeling angry instead of tired?

A Dutch bird protection organization has web cams of bird nests in the Netherlands: <a href="https://www.vogelbescherming.nl/beleefdelente" rel="nofollow">https://www.vogelbescherming.nl/beleefdelente</a>Also here: <a href="https://visdeurbel.nl/" rel="nofollow">https://visdeurbel.nl/</a> is an awesome service. Migratory fish get stuck at sluices in the city of Utrecht, that aren'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.Unfortunately it's just getting dark here right now.

Pretty cool. I like ducks.One bug: the pin for "The Pond at Central Park" incorrectly shows up near 64th & 1st. Looks like there are some others that aren'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!)-<a href="https://www.twitch.tv/team/animals" rel="nofollow">https://www.twitch.tv/team/animals</a>

Would be cool if submitting locations were a bit easier.eBird is a good place to look for ducks too.<a href="https://ebird.org/hotspots" rel="nofollow">https://ebird.org/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....someone should make a site, which lists them all.

It'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.orgThis 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'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've been seeing ring-necked mallards in my driveway. They're bold urban birds; they don't take flight when a car approaches. I have to honk at them to get them to move.Usually, crows are the only large birds nearby. The mallards are new.

Status UPD:I'm sorry for this experience, but we just can't add all locations right now :(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't handle it this way anymore. We are working on automating this process, and as soon as we'll figure it out, we are going to add all the locations, including yours, to the map.Thank you for your contribution! It means a lot to us. Please, don't worry, we will add your submissions as soon as we can.

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

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

I wanted to add a location but I can't get the location on the website itself? Why not just coordinates anyway?Too much effort.

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