american coot, bolsa chica refuge, huntington beach, ca

I don’t know what has been spurring my avian foot fetish, but man, these are some cool feets. I was walking the far corners of Bolsa Chica and I startled a small group of coots, coming around a path bend, and most of them scuttled across without flying. The two that did fly looked like they might fall out of the sky at any moment. Not the most graceful, these.

  1. I love coots!! There are quite a few that live in Seattle and swim in our Greenlake. Their feet are amazing… they look like leaves.

  2. Your dad and I call coots that fly or skitter away “Fraidy Coots.”
