Description

With a duck-ish head, a body shaped like a chicken, and a pointy beak to match, the American Coot looks like the most impractical mash-up of birds—and that’s just in the water. On land, you can see another part of its wacky appearance: those fairly long, yellow-green legs. The odd-looking foot is perfectly built for getting around on land or water. It's not bad for a little wrestling, either, because these birds are much more hostile than their goofy appearance suggests. The coot can be found on ponds and lakes all over the United States and parts of Canada, dabbling and diving for food. The coot also spends a fair amount of time on land. Taken in Wellesley, Massachusetts
