In the nesting & mating season a great deal of jockeying for position & dominance happens. The prize? The right for your genes to continue as the drakes compete for the hens. I've seen a mallard drake push the head of a competitor right underwater while the hen stays safely away.

I saw this mallard couple at the park over the weekend, hanging out on a little sandbar in the river! #MallardMonday
