For a moment it looked like he was going to drown her! Great capture!

Heh, there is obviously a competition amongst mallards to have the earliest eggs of the spring!

Looks like you might be getting an early spring!

cakkleberry - it is alarming the first time you see it

Dudley - I know! I know its courting season, but they shouldn't be breeding for a while.

Adele - certain seems like it! Perhaps they can have delayed implantation. I'll have to look into it.

RobinL - not with the sub zero weather since. Mind you its got much milder the last few days
