Getting the cold shoulder

Two mallards not exactly enjoying each other’s company at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall. I keep saying we need to get back there, which we will, if it ever warms up here.

The privileged drake's glossy green head and yellow bill are not attractive enough to her? At least he's still behaving like a gentleman, just let her walk away. A very cute capture ! ~VVVVV

A sunny Feb day for this photo so it will get warmer for you just wait. We on the other hand will wait for much longer.
More lovely photos for you too are waiting at the Gardens.
