Fighting Ducks

We have two ducks at work - they've been nesting here every year since we've been in this building. Don't know why.

When I got to work this morning and there were two male ducks fighting in the middle of the parking lot. They were biting away at each other's chests, and there were feathers littering the parking lot. I had no ideas ducks were such violent creatures...it looks like they ain't stopping till one flies off or dies.

Anyway, they're still going at it. I hope our duck wins.

9:30 Update:

After taking a breathing spell, in which both male ducks (mallards?) sat in the shade and preened themselves, they're back at it. There's now duck blood splattered in our parking lot. The female is pretty happy, though. She's hanging around, not caring much who wins. Or so it appears...

"Fight! Fight! Ooh, get 'im, Billy! Nice one, Bobby! What a bite!"
