Go to a Duck Pond! Ducks are funny birds, they make you smile and they are enjoyable to watch. If you’re feeling stressed out or depressed it would be a good idea to get out in nature and spend some time with these little guys. This will make anyone happy and it costs very little. Southern Utah has some great duck ponds. Here are our favorites.
