My nature walk took me through a suburban park without any landscaping, and then to a pond of a similar sort. The park had a natural creek running through it that in some spots had natural obstacles, and thus in some spots, there was standing water. The pond was artificially made, however, the organisms present appeared to be native. An interesting behavior that I noticed between the Mallards and Canadian Geese was that the Mallards appeared to be using the Geese as predator protection. That is to say, the geese were quite aggressive and the mallards were behind them when I approached.
