ann Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm still entranced by their feet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Personally, I thought it was pretty noble of Galen to not withold his bird-knowledge while knowing he was setting himself up. Especially since he's already had more than his fair share of 'coincidental flack' lately! Definitely with Steph and Ann as far as the "Dig those crazy feet!" reaction. Only just now noticed that the 'baby bird' hasn't grown into them yet. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migbar Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 The smooth, white wafer-hats on the adults are pretty snazzy, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacyw Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Too funny Ann. Now I will think of Coots every time I see a female member of the British Royal family. And Galen, nobody said "old" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 There is an American version. They are pests at many places. And no pretty white hats. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/american_coot/id Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
