I am glad your baby is ok. I wouldn't want that in my back yard either. However, I will say, there are ducks across the street in a pond and all I have to do is go outside and call them. They come flying for bread crumbs and such. It's kind of fun.....from here. If your pond is only a couple of blocks away, why couldn't you just open your gate and shoo her out? I am sure she knows where the pond is, and will take her babies there. That is providing your neighborhood is duck friendly. I live two blocks from our pond and already see this year's hatchlings traveling that far away. They come and go.
