Description
An American Coot swimming in the reflections of Autumn colors. The waterborne American Coot is one good reminder that not everything that floats is a duck. A close look at a coot�that small head, those scrawny legs�reveals a different kind of bird entirely. Their dark bodies and white faces are common sights in nearly any open water across the continent, and they often mix with ducks. But they�re closer relatives of the gangly Sandhill Crane and the nearly invisible rails than of Mallards or teal.
