Whoops – American Coot on Thin Ice

Whoops – American Coot on Thin Ice



Some images are simply too funny not to share. Even with those huge feet this American Coot (Fulica americana) couldn’t stay in top of the ice at a pond near where I live in Salt Lake County, Utah.

Any wonderful captions come to mind?
