Mallard (Female) - Anas platyrhynchos This pretty lady had a lot to say/complain about. There were multiple mating pairs of mallards on the river and all were quiet except for this female. She was quacking so much that I couldn&#039;t help but wonder if her mate regretted pairing with her.<br /> <br /> Habitat: River <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/110573/pair_of_mallards_-_anas_platyrhynchos.html" title="Pair of Mallards - Anas platyrhynchos"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/110573_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=y1eQ6L%2FB6SJvFhfSsreA%2Fkc6%2FS8%3D" width="200" height="134" alt="Pair of Mallards - Anas platyrhynchos Habitat: River<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/110571/mallard_female_-_anas_platyrhynchos.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/110572/mallard_male_-_anas_platyrhynchos.html Anas platyrhynchos,Geotagged,Mallard,United States,Winter" /></a></figure><br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/110572/mallard_male_-_anas_platyrhynchos.html" title="Mallard (Male) - Anas platyrhynchos"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/110572_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=6%2BQv3LP3Kh83SGuL2eGuJi%2B3oek%3D" width="200" height="138" alt="Mallard (Male) - Anas platyrhynchos Part of a pair -- one of many on the river that day.<br /> <br /> Habitat: River<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/110571/mallard_female_-_anas_platyrhynchos.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/110573/pair_of_mallards_-_anas_platyrhynchos.html Anas platyrhynchos,Geotagged,Mallard,United States,Winter" /></a></figure> Anas,Anas platyrhynchos,Geotagged,Mallard,United States,Winter,duck Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

This pretty lady had a lot to say/complain about. There were multiple mating pairs of mallards on the river and all were quiet except for this female. She was quacking so much that I couldn't help but wonder if her mate regretted pairing with her.
