A black water bird stands on a stump sticking up from calm water. Its large foot is raised as it looks downwards at the water with its red eyes. Another coot is in the water below it plus others in the background

An American Coot considering a dip in the water, letting us see its fabulous lobed feet

Does anyone else have any good Coot feet photos?

I'm also going to keep posting nature stuff. We need the beauty and hope to keep ourselves going and nature will need us to look out for it.

Community is super important and I am very happy to have all of you here, old friends and new.
