American Coot
 |
|
[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
I took this picture last weekend in Hamilton - Lake Ontario
Often mistaken for a duck, the American Coot is a common waterbird. Its all black body and white chicken-like beak distinguish this swimming rail from the real ducks.
Description
-All black.
-Swims and dives.
-White bill with black mark near tip.
-Bill triangular like a chicken's, not flat like a duck's.
-White stripe on sides of undertail.
