What a nice shot of that "Old Coot".

Thanks, Sparkle - the Coots are pretty common here.

Great shot Talsi. Saw one of these for the first time last year. Hope it comes back this year.

I had to check back today and see if you had any info. No kidding! LOL I've never been called that yet, but sometimes I feel that way. (smiling)

Thanks for commenting, Jas, Lorraine, and Ann. And my dictionery says the Coot is a stupid and slow in flight bird, so that probably is where "you old coot" came from

Nice shot of this coot. He looks good against the wooden structure and it was nice of him to make such a nice pose for you. :)

Interesting looking bird, I also had heard of them but never seen one, and not a bird that we have over here either.

Talsi, this is the first time I have seen a Coot. I often wondered where the saying, "you old coot" came from. Great lighting and very clear image. You even got the light in the Coots eye. Fun to view.
