Coot
Yep there is really such a thing as a Coot … I met a nice man on a peer who was fishing … he was pretty sure a Coot just meant a “stupid bird or person” he couldn’t believe that there really is such a thing. We learn something new everyday.

Florida is amazing … birds like this just wander around and could care less if I take their photo … who needs a zoo with wildlife this friendly?
