American Coot revisited

[Katie Rupp]

A weather front came through bringing overcast and, at times, dark skies and so, in the break from harsh sunlight, I took this picture I'll be adding to my "Coot" collection. I like the serene feel. (love their funny, lobed feet) Thanks for looking/comments appreciated.
