You can see how windy it was by how his feathers are blowing.
A coot is NOT a duck, and does not have duck feet. Here is a picture I found on the web of his feet! And he can really speed around fast!
“In old
age, your body no longer serves you so well.
Muscles slacken, grip weakens, joints stiffen…
Hikes to the mountains are a thing of the past.
Even a stroll down the road has its terrors.
Your hair turns apple-blossom white…”

I have never seen a Coot either and beyond hearing the name knew nothing about them. Looking at it I would say it's a type of duck so now I know that it isn't. Those feet are pretty fascinating. I'm thinking those claws could hurt
Never see before ,what a greet feet..Greetings,Joan
those are the cootest feet I have ever seen. no really, i mean it. never seen any feet like these. i was expected and OLD COOT like what we called my dad when he acted OLD... beautiful NOT a Duck.....
How fun that you got to see this guy! I had no idea what a coot was.
I don't think I've seen coot. Beautiful black feathers and his red eyes are striking! And his feet! No doubt he can swim really fast!
unusual feet.....I haven't ever seen a coot...but they sure are cute little things...
have a great day
Love the feet! :)
I have never noticed the feet of a coot before! How extraordinary!
There are coots about on the lakes here but I've only seen them in the water at a distance.
Love those feet, lol
And Ecclesiastes has got it about right, getting old is no fun except maybe for the apple-blossom hair, that's not too bad.

They are an interesting bird.We have many of them around here in summer.
That is so interesting! I've never seen one that I can remember.
This is the first time I see a coot and it has very unusual feet. The verse is so true about old age!
COOL feet!
So a coot is a really thing??
