Wow, I never saw a bird like this. What is it? A duck? It surely is very impressive and beautiful, great color combination, with the black plumage, white beak and forehead and the small red eyes! I am going to check it out at Wikipedia now! Glad you had a good day, in spite the cold wind. :-)
Lovely clear shots of this bird, Bob
ReplyDeleteOh wow! A lovely bird!

DeleteCold here but not a breath of wind.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect Coot.
