On guard

This male is definately protecting his mate.  We have a female that has a nest on our pond and has been sitting on it for some 2 weeks now.  Every now and then the male comes in to give her a break so she can swim and forage around the grass a bit.  The other night Mark walked back from the last golf hole and he had to raise his club to defend himself.  Guess he got a little too close!  What this male doesn't realize is it's our home too and Mark was just trying to get back to it.
