A duck built a nest in the bush by my front door. I had someone come over and aerate my lawn. The machine was loud, and scared the duck away. I just found out 10 minutes prior that the duck was in the bush. My intention was not to have her scared from her eggs, will she return?

She probably will. The noise isn't bound to come back and she is probably nearby. Keep us updated.
From a cooperative extension website:
The incubation length on duck eggs is 28 days. At times, ducks will abandon their nests to re-nest in other areas. Other predators will feed on the eggs, so fox & other birds may have already cleaned out the nest.
Most likely she will come back--our farm equipment scares them and they come back. Keep us posted. (same with geese)
