This American Coot was sharing the mountain pond with the two pairs of Ruddy Ducks--apparently peaceably. Coots are part of the rail family and are not ducks, despite appearances. They show up in Ottawa in migration, but are uncommon enough here that it was a treat to get to photograph one at close range.
Mountain Bluebird
I photographed this old snag because I liked the orange and yellow lichen growing on it. I didn't noticed the bird's nest until now!
