American Coot Fight

Lay low for “Jesus coot” action, aka Coot walks on water; it didn’t happen but did catch a series of them fighting in low angle.

I was in a good position to get some great shots but unfortunately this is the best i could get out of single burst. About 40 frames, give it or take – none of them were facing the camera including another coot jumped in to defend his buddy. Nothing but splashes.
