FAIR LAWN, N.J. — No fewer than a dozen ducks are standing in John Kaufman's Fair Lawn driveway when he arrives home from work. It's nothing out of the ordinary for the Blue Hill Avenue resident, who on Sunday evening was seated in a plastic lawn chair with a bucket of whole-kernel corn. "I consider it entertainment," he said, tossing the feed toward the ducks on the grass.
