Seems like this has been the year of many Coots and this day was no exception. While driving along in Wyoming we came across a lake that looked like it was filled with many Ducks however upon closer inspection it appeared to be filled to the brim with only Coots.
Well looks like I made a blunder and forgot the photo I had chosen for this post. I am away from my computer today so just imagine many coots on this nice fall pond. Not quite a majestic mountain lake at the base of a majestic mountain range but pretty nonetheless. Thanks to everyone who pointed out the missing photo.
nature has no boss 
We don’t see them often here in IA. Last year, we did see one on a local pond. May have been passing through.

The coots had their invisible cloaks on. 🙂

I need to ask a coot to borrow one of those cloaks.

Hi Alex, yes a modeling fee is now being collected as the birds have all gotten together. Time for us photographers to pay up. 🙂

It is a lovely scene! (I’ve got loads of “missing bird” photos – I swear they’re there in view, but by the time I press the button, they’ve flown!)
