My apologies for the alliteration.

This morning there are two groups of coots, totaling >50 birds, floating
together in two tight clusters in two small openings in the ice on the pond
where US 33 (Dublin Road) and the I-270 exit ramp come together.   In the more
distant opening there are also some two dozen  unidentified ducks (possibly
blacks) -- but they were hard to identify because  of the sun angle.  The clusters
of coots were tucked together really  tightly in the ~12 degree early morning
temp.
