The Parent Trap: A JOIN Story

Gordon swims back excitedly. Species representation is perfect! Now we need pond-based festival activities where ducks share favorite swimming spots. But duck info and pond visits are in separate tables - help us connect them!

Your task

Show duck names along with their pond visit information by connecting the ducks table with the 'data/pond_visits.csv' file. You will be joining two different data sources to combine duck information with their visit records.

Hint

Use INNER JOIN to connect tables. Match ducks between tables using their names.

Expected result

A table showing duck names and their pond visits.
