Sora & Coot plus Ruddy Duck

I saw the coot then what looked like a coot on the dead vegetation. It turned out to be a Sora, I took a few pics but like any good Sora, it took off and actually flew across the canal. These are very highly cropped. The Ruddies have come in for the winter.

Soras are very difficult to find let alone get a photo. Nice capture. The second shot is great, almost a comical look to the duck....

Nice captures, I have yet to see a Sora, but they are neat creatures. Also cool how the coot is in there too. Nice Ruddy Duck. I like that you got the tail up and a nice reflection on the water. Looks like a painting!
