Common Yellow Eye Ducks

Even though it is still technically winter here in Sacramento, mild weather with temperatures in the 70's means love is in the air to these Common Yellow Eye Ducks.  While I was standing on the top bank, I saw male and female's gather together.  The males then did their best dance to impress the ladies by sticking their necks out as straight as possible then thrusting their heads to lay flat on their back while making unusual sounds that the female interpret as love songs.  To have two males do this at the same time was really cool!
