    Whatever the species is I will name it Duncan because, well, it looks like it can dunk quite well.

    A fun image Miguel with nice water bulging and action.

    Coot, some would argue it's best side, but I like them. Especially the young with thier dot forehead. I bet a raptor was lickin his bill watchin this.

    A coot it is! I was hoping to capture the moment just before the dive, but I wasnt able to gather any information to get a clue about when they dive.
