I wonder where they came from. The nearest body of water is Laurel Creek, a quarter-mile away.
The ducks would have had to traverse parking lots, busy streets, and a major shopping center.
While the ducklings have feathers, flying here would be hazardous. And the chance that they would settle in a man-made fountain seems remote.
Frankly, I wonder if they were placed there. Ducklings mature in 2-3 months, at which point this family should join the ducks and geese in the Bay marshlands four miles east. Yet ducks seem to show up regularly, else why go through the trouble of making a sign?
Their presence is a mystery.
