A mallard can cope with -80 C (theoretically)... not sure about the coot but as long they're in the water it's "warm" (in some point of view) :-)

I think they spend so much time in the water that their feet and bottom side are numb! LOL.. Excellent find and capture, Raj. Well done!

I think if you picked one up there would be a number on his bottom side and you would win a prize. No, not that kind of prize!
Good shot of the ducks meeting Raj.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Great title! They are pretty cool at that. So many all together. They are probably warmer than you! Neat image, Raj!

Excellent title for this wonderful capture Raj. It's so amazing how they can swim in that cold of water and stand the cold temperatures. It make me cold looking at this.

Raj - The other day, I was at a reservoir photographing birds and saw a flock of these paddling around in the water. No one there knew what they were - and here they are posted and identified as Coots. Thanks! Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
