To quote the Peabody Hotel website:
"Today, the mallards are raised by a local farmer and friend of the hotel. They live in the lavish "Duck Palace" on the Plantation Roof. Every day at11 a.m., they are led by the Duckmaster down the elevator to the Italian Travertine marble fountain in the Grand Lobby. Red carpet is unrolled and the ducks march through crowds of admiring spectators to the tunes of John Philip Sousa. The fanfare is repeated at 5 p.m. when the ducks retire to their rooftop palace."

Does this mean that the ducks are in the fountain from 11am to 5pm?
Has anybody seen the march?
