Jumping Coot

At Wilderness Lakes Thousand Trails in Menafee, CA there was waterfowl in abundance. Hundreds of ducks, thousands of American Coots, and some geese and Canada Geese.

Out of all of those birds, there were only TWO Coots that knew how to do this.

 

This one was pretty protective of it, too. The Einsteins of Wilderness Lakes!
