Why are these birds doing this?

Answer:

This is an adult pair of Great Blue Herons, and the behavior is part of the pair bonding ritual, and it is repeated regularly as they are taking care of their young. They stare at each other, and alternate grasping each other's beak. It is thought that this reinforces the bond, and keeps both parents committed to raising their young.
