Americans

If you remember, I recently had a post entitled “Canadians”, which was photos of some Canada Geese that I found, which actually swam right up to me as I was sitting by the river. I had at least one friend complain to me about shooting “foreigners” instead of good old American birds (even though, technically, those geese were probably living in the U.S. permanently on their “green cards”). Okay friend, you know who you are, here’s a photo of a true blue American for you: an American Coot. And it was pretty cool, because this duck-like bird swam right up to where I was sitting by the marsh too, so I was able to get some really good close-ups of it. I figure he was either stupid or fearless, because he paid no attention to me at all, as if I was not there at all. Yet all his other friends stayed well away from me the entire time I was there.Well he may be stupid, but he sure is a pretty guy, don’t you think.
