There are lots of coots on the River Thames close to where I live…I love watching them. For the most part they just float about and dip their lovely little heads:). Thanks and have a lovely Monday and week ahead:)
Coots are notoriously horrible launchers so you see the water jogging a lot, but strange it hasn’t been able to take flight – wonder if its tail feathers or more likely wing primaries are damaged – or maybe just lazy ha. If there is anything like here, then there are a lot more of those “Chickens of the Water” hanging out in that areas as well..
I see only the one coot. It walks water for about 50 feet, then bobs and dunks and acts silly while it floats downstream about 50 feet, and then does it all over again. Thanks Brian.
Once a coot always coot but hey at least you have Jack as a yogi!!!
Good boy Jake -:)
We have hoots, coots, cranes and a yogi dog. Thanks, Cindy.
ain’t it the truth!
🤣
Your coot is a hoot! I love coots. They are unusual looking with that white bill. It was good to see Jake, too.
Corrales skies are always beautiful through your lens.
Thanks, Lavinia. Coots seem to be little comedians, also.
Awesome photos, Tim. Walking on water, talented friends you have. Loved those pics.
Thanks, Jeff. We all have our talents.
Welcome, Tim. Indeed, we do.
Splendid Timothy.
Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure. Sending hugs to everyone.

Lovely pictures.

The coots are characters. Thanks, Janet.
So graceful and beautiful… well except for one maybe!!
Hahaha! Thanks, Shey.
Well, obviously… anything can happen in your paradise! Happy Monday, my friend!
Thanks, Marina.
👌👍
I wonder what’s with the little Coot? He’s just doesn’t feel the need. Are you sure thats yoga?
I don’t know on the coot. He’s just a cute coot. Jake is doing wet yoga. I think it’s a doggie version of hot yoga.
I don’t know what to say to that. Coots and hot yoga …
Wet yoga in Jake’s case. Do you do yoga? You don’t strike me as a yoga type, but I could be wrong.
Lol, Jake makes the best of any necessary “exercises”. I like Yoga, it’s very relaxing. It’s habit forming too.
The coot that can… walk on water, that is!
And, I’m with Holly… you sure that’s yoga Jake is performing?
It’s doggie wet yoga. It’s like hot yoga. That coot is a water walker. Thanks, Dale.
Ahh… OK. We shall accept that one 😉
He/she really is!
Maybe we need a “heshe” pronoun since gender is such a difficult thing to determine in any species.
This is true!
Jake and Coot both fit in with the Price menagerie. Never a dull moment…
Always something going on.
Great shots of the coots. Quite funny! Along with the Yogi!
Happy Monday!
Your photos make me take a deep breath😌
Thanks, beachhous.

Mega shots there, Tim. Cheers!
Thanks, Inchcock.
At least that coot is giving it his best shot 🙂
He tries hard. Thanks, Julie.
