An American coot swimming through peaceful waters. It is just past the center of the photo heading right. The coot is all black except a small white spot on its side and its distinctive white frontal shield and beak with a black tip. The bird is reflected in the water.

A common grackle on a log in a lake. The log stretches across the photo with two limbs sticking up on each end. The grackle is in the center, facing left, but looking down, almost as if looking at its own reflection in the water. The bird is black with an iridescent blue on its neck and the back of its head. It has a yellow eye and long black beak. The log and bird are both reflected in the water below the log.
