Thousands of Snow geese and waterfowl decided to leave the area this
morning,except for a few "Old Coots", seemed to be enjoying
their last bit of soft water and sunlight..
Winter is in full swing here in SD
Have a great week everyone and stay warm...!

Excellent shots, Chris, both of them. I saw a couple of coots here the other night for the first time, and no, not Gord and I. I love how their necks go when they swim. Reminded me a bit of a steam engine crank. Hope you're staying warm.
