If you are a big fan of birds, this post is for you. This time, we would like to show you some pH๏τos of Coots, the unique bird that you’ve probably never heard of.
The American Coot or Mud Hen is a medium-sized bird with characteristics of both a hen and a duck. They tend to waddle on land more like a chicken and swim in the water like a duck.
The American coot is a migratory bird that occupies most of North America. During the summer breeding season, they occur in New York and Mᴀssachusetts in the northern United States, and in southern Canada.
Coots are easily recognized by their plump dark body, small head, thin legs, white wedge-shaped bill, and red eyes.
American coots eat primarily aquatic plants. However, they do not live an exclusively vegetarian life. You may also see them eating insects (beetles, dragonflies, and others).
