Accidentally got some great shots of water fowl and I was hooked on getting the action shots. Thankfully it turned into a mix of birding and shooting. Now I don't mind dragging 20 pounds of gear to the middle of nowhere and not getting a shot if I at least got to see and check off some great bird finds.

Moon Potato posted:Does this vary depending on whether it's breeding season? I'm used to seeing coots in places where they're a winter resident (Oakland and Arcata, California), and they don't seem any more aggressive than the other waterfowl. In fact, they seem a bit more timid than the Mallards, teals and wigeons when a hawk or falcon makes a pass over the area. Right now, there are large flocks of coots commingling pretty peacefully with everything else at Arcata Marsh. We get them year round in Arizona and here they tend to act like Dork's post, complete and utter assholes that are a blast to watch. I'm not sure if it's much different outside of city parks and riparian parks but I notice them be mostly dicks to each other with minor kerfuffles with mallards/ring necks/etc sprinkled in. I agree with the other goon that mentioned it, their kick fights are the best thing.  small-2439 by jankyangles, on Flickr
