American Coot

It's been too cold to do anything other than hibernate, which is what we've been doing. Dug into the archives for today's post.

This American Coot was enjoying my brother's pond in Illinois. Really like this first photo. I think he is calling me a bad name.

  1. Hi Betty. Your American Coot looks somewhat different to our Eurasian Coot, although clearly from the same family. Smart bird!

  5. When we were visiting my older daughter, a few years ago, Lorelei and her mom stopped and bought some actual food for the coots and ducks on the ponds by my other daughter's condo. This one little coot, would always follow Lorelei and come to where she was. No us, if we went for a walk, but if it heard Lorelei, here it came.
