After much indecision I finally decided to drive out to Forsythe NWR yesterday. It was a really beautiful, sunny day and while the sheer number of birds was lower than I've seen it in the past the variety of birds was impressive. I saw at least 22 different species. These American Coots were diving for dinner and showing off their greenish unwebbed feet. In fact, I have just now discovered that American Coots are not ducks and belong instead to the rail family. Learn something new everyday.
