Coots are so entertaining, aren't they? I think of them sort of like chickens of the water! LOL... I don't know why, but that's what they always remind me of! The sketch at the top has great gesture and motion.

The younger ones with green feet are quite handsome when standing on ice. Your sketches are nice and the photos tell a good story.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959678271197877448.post-69528499154986712722011-12-28T01:19:08.131-08:002011-12-28T01:19:08.131-08:00"It occurs to me sitting here is an odd thing..."It occurs to me sitting here is an odd thing to be doing on Christmas Eve."
