I think that's what these are. Cool looking bird, and their bill was perfectly adaptive to eating white bread thrown by people, but sadly, some Coots managed to get fed as well.

Duck hunters call them “ Hollywood’s”
Very cool birds to break up a slow day of shooting

Cool looking birds! Coots are nice too as long as they're not diving on my bait lol


Catch and release. The dream - to catch one of every species of Freshwater fish in our great state! If only I can resist Carp...

Coots are one of the favorite foods of the Eagles here on the lake.
