anonsally: lies: anonsally: MacKerricher State Park, just…
lies:
MacKerricher State Park, just north of Fort Bragg, California. I took this photo in December during my family vacation. (click on it for better resolution; it looks a bit pixely on my dash)
Haha. I looked at this and thought, “there have to be some coots in there.” So I zoomed in and panned around… and there were!
:)
Actually, this little lake (Lake Cleone) was practically full of coots that day, if I recall correctly, just mostly not at this end of it.
One year (1995, apparently) we saw red phalaropes there, which was super exciting. We called the rare bird hotline to confirm. They did this amazing thing where they would spin around in the water to create a little whirlpool to bring up the little things they wanted to eat.
I love watching phalaropes do that. So cute.
