Wild Bird Wednesday - Coot

I've been absent the last couple of weeks due to a wonderful vacation heading up the California coast through Cambria and Big Sur to Pacific Grove.  Absolutely magnificent scenery and wildlife - can't wait to post some pics once I finish going through them.

In the meantime, here are some Coots:

 

 

I grew up next to a lake and Coots were very common along with the mallards, geese and swans, but I never really paid much attention to them.

 

 

 

Only recently really noticed their red eyes and green feet. 

 

 

 

And then there's this rare, two-headed version..
