This pair already has babies. Maybe they are going for a second clutch.

Wilson's Phalaropes. The female is actually the more colorful of the two in this species.

Great Blue Heron babies get very rough with their parents when they are older, demanding food and grabbing the parents beaks. In this case, these two were so hungry that one grabbed the parent, and the other tried to grab the beak but wound up grabbing the back of its sibling's neck! (Orlando Wetlands a couple of months ago)

I recently captured the same behavior with great white egrets. They can be pretty tough on their siblings pushing them out of the way to get to the food.

Parental abuse! Just about all of the herons and egrets act like that. Survival of the fittest!!
