Ducks are fairly easy to get. They kinda just float around begging for handouts, hence the term " sitting duck ". The only reason I shot e'm was because I couldn't find anything else to photograph and I was bored. I was after eagles, and I found two, but they were sitting so high in the tree they wouldn't have made a good shot.

The Coots are a lot of fun to watch. They are quite aggressive and very vocal. Beside that they love to steal food from other birds cuz they're too lazy to get their own food.

They are hard to photograph because of the striking contrast between the dark head and the white almost glowing beak. That's one of my better shots of it I'm sorry to say.
