Next stop after Argentina was back in San Francisco. I birded my way northwards to Sonoma for dinner with my brother and sister-in-law. First stop was Golden Gate Park's "chain of lakes". The North Lake especially is a good birding spot. I found three lifers there that day, but I've...- Doc Duck

I'll have to get back to North Lake at Chain of Lakes next trip. That will be early April, so there should be some good birds coming through on Spring migration, or maybe hanging around for summer already. End of August the Fall migration was just starting and I saw 3 lifers visiting the woods...- Doc Duck

The coot is often a target by our Bald Eagles here in the U.S., and I usually see them in large flocks.- tetoneon

When I first saw this bird on the lake, I initially thought it was some kind of duck, but it wasn't until I got home and looked him up that I discovered that he is indeed NOT a duck... Well then... I guess I am still learning something new every day. :)- jimprichards

I'm always amazed when I see a coot walking with those large feet. This one easily walked up the cement boat ramp.- ducbucln

This brave small coot took a piece of food away from the gulls (California and Ring-billed) and the race was on. The coot ran about 50 feet on top of the water and ended up on the shoreline where other gulls grabbed the food.- ducbucln

Well, you smell good...
... but I don't think I can fit you in my mouth ;) I see this quite often between the Coots and the turtles. Can't figure out what the Coots are doing.- KC Foggin

Mama with her young. This is the first time I have seen baby coots. They were very hard to get a lone picture of through all of the foliage. These guys sat in a bit of an opening for a second and I got my chance.- MarkVanWyk

It took me a long time to finally catch a coot's feet in the water. I've always been amazed at how large the feet were compared to their body.- ducbucln
