I had an idea something was going to happen as I watched a female and vocalizing male Mallard close in on another pair in a small pond.
Quack, quack, and splash …
the dust-up was on.
One of the females stayed near the action.
I have no idea which duck was which at this point. I don’t know where the female Merganser appeared from, either, but she quickly retreated.
Always fun to watch, even if it can be bloody serious at times. Well caught!
Yes, fun and serious to them! And I missed part of it because I couldn’t figure out where they had gone watching through my lens.
Well captured Mallard action!
Thanks, Greta!
