Help! A pair of wild ducks dropped by and mama seems to be looking

[Hotler]

for a place to nest and I think she has picked my gravel driveway. I'm worried about their safety. She squatting down near the sidewalk where people walk their dogs and there are cats and foxes and raccoons etc.. I wonder If I should shoo them off. I hate to be a dick. Your thoughts
Thanks

1. If shooing them off .."saves their lives..."...then ..."shoo them off"

2. Emergency fence ? Pallets and duck tape

3. After further research I don't think I need to worry.

I don't have enough tall vegetation for mama to nest. Cornell Ornithology and Wild Duck Unlimited says they like to hide the nest. I don't have tall grass etc.in my yard where they are hanging out. Hell they're sitting right on the edge of the street almost in the gutter. They be gone as soon as someone comes by walking their dog. Weird.
