Try some city parks. These ducks are trained to come for food and won't be so skiddish.
If you know where French Lake is in Southwest Fort Worth, there's almost always some kind of duck, geese
or birds to shoot. It's relatively close to Crowley.

Look for subdivisions with ponds. My daughter lived in one like that in Columbus, OH. There were ducks and geese around it until it froze solid in the winter.
