Water Trough

When American Coots take off they may appear to be running on water. At other times these fast birds move so quickly that they leave a trough of water behind. I was able to capture this interesting occurrence at Delta Ponds.

Very interesting shot! Hook it up to a harness and it could pull a water skiing squirrel!
