Three males fighting with each other during a "courting party" in which they are competing for the attention of a single female; earlier, they circled her quietly before the battle broke out, see http://www.pbase.com/image/130614883 .

Shoreline is saltwater, an artificial lake with SF Bay water pumped in.
