...Well, in war (as in fights) no-one really wins.

Coots seem to be very passive birds, but when they do fight they become vicious.

Great action shots! Were they fighting over territory, food or, gasp, a lady? :wink

Amazing action set Russ :thumb #1 surely has to be the winner though.

The coots down here are *very* aggressive - they're not shy to chase something as large as a crane :dunno

Hi Russ, Great series. There are a lot of coots on the lake I shoot at and it seems like a constant battle all day long. Very well done :clap

These are great photos! And I love your captions - makes me think about the original Batman TV show! (does that show my age?)

One guess:wink
I guess food and territory take precedence over the ladies when it's feeding time for these guys...I'd starve:barb :ivar

I guess they end up fighting because there is just too many of them, but this is my first time witnessing such a drawn-out battle.
Thanks Chriss
