I highly recommend setting up a game camera at your pond -- it's been so much fun seeing what shows up. Today, working out next to the pond a female mallard flew over wanting to land (I didn't do very well blending into the scenery) and decided not to. As per request, here's a photo of my pond. It's brown from runoff --we've had record rains, but it clears up after a little while. Next steps are to run electricity out, setup a waterfall, put in more plants (that my ducks don't devour) and a wall of hedges across where the bench is to enclose the area. I've been amending the water with lime to try to get a little more growth and it's been working, but now aeration is needed. We'll see how things progress!
By the way from left to right are Hal, Early, and Baby my very spoiled house ducks (the pond is just a daily field trip).
