There were about 20 male and female Common Goldeneye ducks feeding on mussels in the partially frozen Rideau River last Sunday when these two drakes got into a fight and one began chasing the other.

Although they were over 150 metres away, on the far side of the open water, I managed to get a sequence of shots of their altercation.

1. The Start

2. Picking up speed

3. Flat out!

4. My personal favourite of the series.

Great photos, looks like a chase rather than a fight. :-)
