Our World Tuesday and All Seasons

Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, February 5, 2018

What is that long black streak in the middle of Pickwick Lake?

I zoomed in on a small section of it and discovered it is a large flock of American Coots!
A birder more experienced than I estimated there to be about a 1000 birds. Coots are migratory. As Winter gives way to Spring, they will go north to nest and raise their young.

Have a wonderful day!

Today I am linking up with Our World Tuesday and All Seasons Why don't you join us?
