Is there Trouble in the Wood Duck Family?

I saw this Wood Duck pair at Delta Ponds and it looked like the male was giving some serious feedback to the female. Perhaps she was too nice to the other male nearby, who knows. He doesn't look too happy. But then, maybe I am misreading the situation. I couldn't hear what he was saying. :)
