Pierce Estates in Calgary. Walking about trying to get a good shot of a couple of Merganser Ducks. Here they were peacefully swimming about, minding their own business. Was a little cold, so they were close together.

Their marital bliss came under attack from another male, who decided to butt in. Landed right next to the original male and swam along side for a while. Well, the original male did not like that at all and:
