Our resident mallard is really into his food.
.
.
And yes, I meant that literally.
.
.
The rival males still show up now and then.
.
.
But our female has made her choice and they end up wandering around aimlessly…. as single men are apt to do.
.
.
Standoffs with the woodchuck are still a thing.
.
.
And the male mallard is showing some battle scars on his breast.
.
.
But this day they were victorious…. and took a load off next to the spoils.
.
.
Disturbing duck facts added for dramatic ending.
You’re welcome.

River's world..... 
Such a fountain of information.
Useless but fun nonetheless….
