American Coot feet are incredible up close 🪶

Those bright lobed toes are built for swimming through shallow water, not paddling like a duck.

La foulque d'Amérique traverse le faisceau du jour comme on franchit une frontière sacrée, l’œil rouge encore chargé de nuit mais déjà affamé de clarté.

Elegance in the descent. 🌿 This Neotropic Cormorant made a graceful slow-motion entrance at Archbishop Joseph A. Fiorenza Park this afternoon, with a nearby American Coot as its only witness. 🪶💦

Great Egret grips an armored catfish (pleco) at the edge of Brays Bayou 🪶 The invasive fish hangs from its bill while an American Coot rests nearby and a Tricolored Heron stands on a log behind them. #Birds #GreatEgret #AmericanCoot #TricoloredHeron #UrbanWildlife #InvasiveSpecies

An American coot stands on shore, showing off oversized lobed toes built for swimming and walking on soft ground. Bright green legs and broad feet contrast sharply with the dark body above. 🪶🦶

Fog, still water, and first light aka Blue hour.
I spotted a distant flock and waited as this American coot separated itself,

swimming calmly through the mist, a solitary figure moving with purpose before sunrise. 📸🐦

I like American Coots. Especially when I happen to catch a group of them as they splash into the water.
