| Female mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) floating on the water, engaging in preening behavior. The duck, with its characteristic mottled brown plumage and orange bill, is surrounded by ripples on the calm water surface. The setting suggests a natural aquatic habitat, possibly a pond or lake, where the duck maintains its feathers through grooming. Preening helps spread oils for waterproofing and aligns the feathers for better insulation. |
