I once had a kiddie swimming pool (or something like it), and put feeder fish in it (I don't entirely remember the logic; I think I may have just wound up with _way_ more feeder fish than needed for my Oscar, and keeping them in my other tank was _way_ too much for that tank.).

I came back to it a couple hours later, and saw geese (or maybe ducks...) exiting the pool, and no feeder fish in the pool any more.

So, yeah, an outdoor pool of a certain type just seems like an invitation for the local creatures to have a snack.
