Anas platyrhynchos
Male with iconic green head, female brown with blue wing patches
city park
This pair was rhythmically bobbing their heads in what appeared to be a mating/bonding ritual - they often bobbed low enough to touch the surfaceof the water: note the water dribbling form the hen's beak. The male is obviously focused on the hen
