Thanks Marc Epstein! It's my first time to see this also. I've been joking with my friends that this guy is a fake monk who pretend to be a vegan but yet eat meat when no one is looking.

Hi TmJ,

 

just like Marc, I've never seen a coot eat an animal (bigger than a small water snail). I like the action and the reflections. Kind regards, Vincent

Merci Beaucoup Vincent! It's my first time as to see a Coot would eat something other than vegetation (14 years of shooting birds). This guy is all by himself at this pond that's full of frog & tadpoles and he alsways seems energetic (flapping the wings and water-walked all the time). Now, I know where he got his energy from and it's not from the algae.
