These Muskies were nesting in this tree but far enough away that I was not disturbing them - at least I couldn't detect anything different in their behaviour. Maybe they knew I couldn't get any closer without getting wet :-)<br />The coots swimming on the road was just too good to miss.

They nest on the golf course next door and often feed and drink in our garden.<br />Regards,<br />PWGouldiaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534425400820381646noreply@blogger.com
