About the American Coot:

The American Coot is a plump, chicken-like waterbird found across much of North America. Commonly spotted bobbing along the surface of ponds, lakes, and marshes, coots are recognized by their slate-black bodies, bright white bills, and lobed toes that make them surprisingly agile swimmers. Often mistaken for ducks, these spirited birds are actually members of the rail family and are beloved by birders for their bold personalities and distinctive calls.
