Wood Storks Fighting

This is a photo I took earlier this year while watching Wood Storks building nests and preforming courtships! I watched this fight go on for what seemed like an hour but was more than likely no more than 10 minutes! The bird on top that is choking the other bird actually ended up killing it!! I have never seen anything like this before between adults of the same species. Well I know this is something very different and was not sure whether to share it or not but it is still an amazing sight to see!! I spend hours watching birds and learning behavior and it is amazing to watch nature!! Hope you like the image and thanks for looking !! Kevan and Linda !!
