SUPER=03-San Antonio, TX;
The winged visitors aren't staying in the guest room-- they are spending
their time at the pool.
The Carsello family can't chase the ducks away.
TREE ducks are federally protected and it's against the law to move them.
But the host family doesn't mind-- a wildlife sanctuary has assured them the
ducks will fly the coop soon.
