A couple from yesterday at Colonel Sam Smith Park - great subject that allows for really close views.

Atilla I am going to Sam Smith tomorrow.  Where didyou see the coot?  I know they move around but it may give me a starting point.  Great shots by the way.  Ann

Ann - sorry for the late response, just getting back to civilization after a long outing yesterday.  Main bay, west side, along the shoreline that leads out to the group of trees at the point.

Thanks Jo-Anne, glad you liked em.
