I have wanted to photograph baby Coots for the last few years and finally got the chance yesterday. They must be one of the funniest and ugliest little birds, so much so that they are adorably CUTE : ) I was watching a different youngster trying to climb over a small branch in the water and it looked almost as if it was doing tthe "log roll" that some humans seem to enjoy. However, once it finally got over the floating branch, that wasn't good enough - it just had to keep going back and forth over it, as if it was having fun, ha.

Grrr ... I just accidentally deleted my Fish Creek Park set that contained 1,021 images. I was trying to delete it from one of my Collections, but somehow must have got back into my photostream sets without knowing it. I've tried and tried to create a new set using batch tags, but no luck. Maybe 1,021 images are just too many for it to handle in one go? So, I guess I will have to do what I did originally - add each photo to the new set individually. If anyone has any suggestions or help about adding to a new set as a batch, I would appreciate it greatly - thanks : )
