The Padre Island National Seashore (PINS) took to social media Saturday, saying the medium-sized ducks have migrated to South Texas from the Midwest and were seen gathering at an area pond.

With this year’s rainfall being “much less on the island” compared to past years, the ducks have been hanging out in the pond next to a bird blind, which is located between the PINS headquarters and the Visitor Center, according to PINS officials.
