I think I saw this same duck at this same location when I was visiting my sister in San Francisco a few weeks ago! He was very aggressive and I saw him go after a smaller female mallard. Lots of great birds (saw a Great Blue Heron, but was too far away for a good photo) and plenty of turtles too. Thanks for sharing!
