Love Among Mallards I

A pair of Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) stand in a sunlit patch of grass. The male displays an iridescent green head, yellow bill, and gray body with a curled black tail. The female shows mottled brown plumage with an orange-tinted bill and darker streaks along her body. Both birds are alert and facing the camera, framed by a bright, grassy background with hints of a nearby structure.
