This rock was a popular place to stand. Managed to get 3 species on it during my short visit. Missed the Northern Shoveler on it. :(

American Coot, they have weird feet. I think this was my first time to see them out of the water.

Is this a Swan Goose?

All shot with the 40D and 500L.

Nice shots Bill, but a tide in Oklahoma? Or is the rock sinking? :)

Mitch, no tide in Oklahoma. They were taken at different angles depending on where their head was. I didn't want just butt shots, :). I could only get to the rock from one side of the lake but had a long bank to work with.

Nice shots Bill.

The Coots feet allows them to walk on top of the Liliy pads better.
