It was a party. There was alcohol. Everybody was having a good time until Steve had to much to drink and called Bobs wife a tramp. Some words were exchanged. And that's when the fight started.

These two Coots were going at each other last Monday at Santee Lakes. Normally when they have a confrontation it only lasts about 20-30 seconds before they break off and go about their way. I was surprised how long this one lasted. 1 min. 19 sec. elapsed between my first and last shot.

So this is where the Phrase "Crazy as a Coot" comes from.
Great catch

Incredible photos of the two fighting coots. Maybe these two are the original, Old Coots, everyone speaks of. As for Bob's wife, oh the stories I could tell you about her and some neat looking Wood Ducks. She is a looker but loose as a goose with her feathers all prettied up.
