First the Territories have to be decided. Mostly a bit of squabbling and chasing decides the issue, but occasionally running battles lasting hours take place. This is one such. Sometimes the partners just hover about as here - at other times the lot join in the melee.

The fights can be vicious and birds gets injured (none with permanent effects so far). We have tried stopping these fights, but the moment you turn your back they are at it again. This is important to them - its about who makes the next generation on this pond.

Clepsydra Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States.
Clepsydra plays nearly continuously to heights of 45 feet (14 m). Named by T. B. Comstock during the 1878 Captain Jones expedition. The name Clepsydra is derived from the Greek word for water clock. Prior to the 1959 Yellowstone earthquake, it erupted regularly every three minutes.
