Green legs, red eyes and that funky swimming style, you’ve gotta give some love to the under appreciated American Coot. Photographed in shallow water while looking for a meal along Clear Creek in Denver CO.

Nice hunting pose. Coots strike me as an ancient form of bird, more closely linked to dinosaurs than the others. But who knows, I may be only dreaming. Have a great weekend, you two.

It has a lovely shape, doesn’t it? It also seems to have a genial expression. Hopeful of food, no doubt.

Coots are so unique and do seem to have a specific personality that is evident in their behavior from swimming style to hunting style a coot is a coot.
