Description

Spotted a cover of Coots on the bank. That is what a group of Coots is called, or sometimes "raft" is used. I thought it would be interesting to show them out of the water. One (in the second photo) seemed to be attempting to play soccer with a bit of flotsam. While beautiful in the water, on land they resemble chickens with clown shoes.
