1207_0279 American Coot

            Crouching at the water's edge, partially hidden by tall grasses, I didn't fool this American Coot. It swam warily past me a couple of times, calling to its mate that remained mostly concealed. I like that this was a wild coot, unlike the city park variety I have photographed so many times, yawn. This shot actually required some planning and then waiting. Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan.
