A sepia coloured page with two adult coots, one standing and one floating on the water. A coot chick is running towards the floating adult with its tiny wings flapping and beak open. Its parent is calm and sedate, floating on the water.

It's #worldwildlifeday and here are a group of beautiful coots, drawn by illustrator E. H. Shepard.

Shepard, best known for his illustrations for 'Winnie-the-Pooh', often made studies of wildlife in his sketchbooks.

In the photo, three coots with rounded bodies and very dark gray plumage are in clear water where small stones are visible on the bottom. They have bright yellow beaks and forehead patches. Two are standing on small rocks that protrude from the water, and a third floats nearby, creating gentle ripples around it. The scene conveys tranquility on the rocky shore of a lake.

Amazing, aren't they? You can look for them on Hawaiʻi Island at the wetlands and fishponds protected within Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park.

Happy Wednesday. Yesterday I shared a juvenile American coot (Fulica americana) expressing how ridiculous coots look. As it happens the juvenile stage is the least ridiculous. Here are an adult and nestlings. Enjoy the ridiculousness.

It is wet, windy and cold here, so my thoughts turned to spring. Here is a juvenile American coot (Fulica americana). I love these guys but let's be honest, at all stages of their life they are ridiculous looking. 🙃

An adult coot feeds a bald-headed baby coot a delicious swamp plant while both sit in swampy water.

"[T]he vocalizations of the common #coot play an important role in social behaviors; thus, anthropogenic sources of noise should be mitigated near the breeding areas of common #coots to avoid disturbing their reproductive activities." Hear, hear! 🐦

Good morning all. 😊
@alan678.bsky.social has chosen today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as #walking, birds walking.
The alternative theme is #birdinabush, any bird in a bush.

A Coot walks past a Cygnet in the park.

One of the #Coots is already making grumpy prep on a popular nesting bed. That’s very early for here but lovely to see. Plus, they’re all getting territorial again. Big wakes. Strong calling. #BigCootEnergy

Female coots should be called cooties. Males should be called coolios. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

It’s been a long time since I seen one of these but believe they are called #coots? Taken at #LakeEola in #Orlando. One of my favorite locations. #birds

Another #BlackAndWhite (or is it #Black&White ?) #theme for the #birdoftheday so here’s an ebony & ivory moment with #white #Pelicans & #black #Coots getting along on #Frank #Lake in #Alberta 🇨🇦 last summer. I imagine this fits the intent. 😊

Bad photo of a coot coming straight for us and two young, they don't have the red head feathers, the nest looks to be lined with litter again sadly. It is boxing day today the day after Christmas.

Young coots on boxing day? Is this normal? Walton Hall Park Liverpool NW England. #birds #waterfowl #coots #babybirds #cootchicks #boxingdaywalk @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social it's been fairly mild but with a frost that's lasted to midday today.

I am not a winter person yet here we are. I am going to jump forward to spring with a photo of a parent American Coot (Fulica americana) feeding its young. At this age the young can feed themselves but parents still stay on top of it.
