American Coot
Not a lot to say about this one. Coots are everywhere. If there is a pond, you will likely find a Coot, and they are brave enough to forage around edges of ponds. Mallards are very common here, but in my experience I will likely see ten Coots for every Mallard (in my very rough estimation)
Taken from a higher vantage point than I would like there are distracting reflections but I still like this one because of the light. So often their body will appear so dark and their bill so light, whereas here there is pretty good rendering of both the body and bill.
Still in search of that near perfect Coot image, but there is lots of season to go yet. You will likely see other Coot images from me in the future.
