Symrna is the name I beilieve you are looking for. As for the ponds, they will be open if the have current pushed by the creek. If they are not connected to the creek, then there is a good chance they will be frozen. As for ducks, look about 10 miles east of there up the creek on some private property that happens to be flooded corn fields. That is where all the ducks in that area will be and they will not leave.
