Gadwall goof
I don't know much about Gadwall behavior, but apparently the male made a major boo boo, because the female tore into him when he crossed the line. It all started innocently enough. They were swimming together quite happily

Did this deflate his ego? Apparently not. He still did the happy dance as though they had mated

Editors note: I may be a tad anthropormorphizing here!
