American Coot - Fulica americana - small diving bird that resembles a duck, but is actually a member of the Rail family. Toes are lobed rather than webbed. They winter here in NE Florida - amusing towatch.. CANON EOS w/ Canon Zoom lens EF, 70-300mm IS USM

A nice closeup of the coot. Nice details in the photo. I like the water droplets on its back. More of the bird could be in focus and some contrast added to tone down the light a little. Good work and thanks for sharing.
