I managed to take some images of the female. I blinked when it took off and I missed the action.

Nikon D850
Nikon 500 f 5.6 PF + 1.4x III.
ISO 2000
f 9.0
1/2000 s

Love her sassy look, Karl. Hoodies are some of my favorite little ducks, and you portray this one in character. Lovely serene, green water for contrast.
