American Coot (three photos)
Fulica americana
Juvenile coot call

This photo shows the weird feet of the Coot. They may be
awkward on land but these big feet come in handy while
wading and diving in the marshes. Photo take at Tonaquint Nature

Not a great photo but it shows the little baby coots and their strange
orange, black and red attire. © Carol Davis
