When the coot bites...
I've found behavior to be so interesting as I photograph birds. These two American Coots were next to each other when the one on the right reached over and appeared to bite the neck of the coot standing on the branch. The bitten coot fell off the branch into the water and then the two appeared to continue on as nothing happened.
