Coots, Cormorants, and friends

It’s often interesting when sorting out images to not only relive the outing, but to look for surprises. On the forementioned trip to Charca de Suarez, we ran into these folks.

Purple Swamphens are big, colorful, and loud.

Common Moorhen

Great Cormorant and a couple of Eurasian Coots.

We saw many Red-knobbed Coots, which are fairly rare except for the group at this site. Older birds have neck bands – this was one of several juveniles.

When I saw this White Stork, I never noticed his companion, a Common Snipe.
