True facts:
Coots are way more #goth in the water than out, with the comically large feet and resulting slightly awkward walk.

Visited the Carson City WWTP Wetlands, between the freeway and the sewage plant (I know, lovely location) where a lot of different birds settle in to enjoy the many reeds and ponds in the area. Tried using eBird again and, while I like having the record, it's just a pain to try to keep count (and putting X on everything seems less than ideal). I like that iNaturalist pulls the metadata from the photo to tag the date/time/location vs having to select a vague location to submit a checklist.
Did meet with a few others out photographing the birds. One gentleman from Carson Valley had a super fast camera to snap multiple pictures, as I was busy trying to focus. We stood around for a bit identifying different birds. Which is when I learned my new 10x50 binoculars are better than my camera! I could see ducks on the far side of the pond clearly that my poor camera could only get a fuzzy shape for. Hurmmmm, have to ponder this.
Trying something new. I'll post the best four pictures here and then if you'd like to see the rest of the birds I saw, they'll be uploaded here: https://metapixl.com/p/NevadaWolf/550849699829402094 (It's just an experiment).

A flock of #American #coots, also known as mud hens. Many spend their winters in #Florida at marshy areas like the #Merritt Island National #Wildlife Refuge.

Saw this old coot and eir friend on the lake yesterday, availing themselves of an, ahem, meal-ready merganser that some raptor must have been startled away from and left behind. I especially love eir weird, lobed toes and knock-kneed gait.

This coot may or may not be deliriously happy, but it looks like this because it’s drinking some water. 😄

More #birding pictures I took today, I got several that I really liked. A slightly iridescent #AmericanCrow, and #AmericanCoot looking back, a #SpottedTowhee crunching on some seeds and last, but not least, a fabulous #WoodDuck.
