Here is the next set of photos from this very windy and chilly day. Have you ever noticed how odd a Coot foot looks? They are strange birds and seem to have a very difficult time achieving liftoff. They run across the surface of the water a long way before finally leaving the runway! Up to liftoff speed, rotate!
Cute birds. I don’t think I’ve seen those out this way.
They are really cute birds, I don’t think we have them here but I’m not sure. I haven’t seen any but I’d like to.
I’m sure you have them somewhere in your area, they seem very common.
They’re such funny birds!
I like the chirping sound they make and those odd feet!
They’re like swimming chickens, and yes, they have a funny pipping kind of sound.
Weird feet! 😳
