Saturday full of birds

Saturday I decided to run out to Market Lake Wildlife Managment Area to try to find a few birds.  There were some fun birds like this Clark's Grebe that I watched catching some lunch.  I love the beautiful red eyes.

 
 

 
Then I watched hundreds of coots and this Mom was feeding it newly hatched chick.

 
I love Snowy Egrets and they are getting more common here in Madison and Jefferson Counties here in Idaho. I watched as it caught and picked the spines off this small catfish.

 
Just another wild day in Idaho.

The baby coots are so comical looking! I have fond memories of when I first saw them in S Dakota. Nice photos Bill. :)
