    No, not a duck. But I believe these little birds to be juvenile American Coots. These four coots were playing on this log along the marsh grass before swimming back over to mom.

    Beautiful shot of the young Coots at play surrounded by the reeds and shimmering reflections on the water. Very well captured, Debra.

    Great action shot Debra. The reflecting reeds on the water is amasing. Look like those juvenile coots are having lot of fun. Very well done.
