Description
The waterborne American Coot (Fulica americana) is one good reminder that not everything that floats is a duck. A close look at a coot—that small head, those scrawny legs—reveals a different kind of bird entirely. Their dark bodies and white faces are common sights in nearly any open water across the continent, and they often mix with ducks. But they’re closer relatives of the gangly Sandhill Crane and the nearly invisible rails than of Mallards or teal. This one swims at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas.

I did not know that about coots, we see them on the west coast a lot at certain times of the year. Great capture here, love the reflections! LF

The refections and that dot of red eye really stand out in this beautiful work David. F/L.
