•  Info American coot (Fulica americana), an odd little chicken-like water bird. It hangs out with ducks, but it's more closely related to rails/cranes (its toes are lobed, not webbed, for example). That bright white bill on dark black feathers has made this one challenging to get a good level of detail -- I got lucky with some good light and a bird that gave me a good 10 seconds to fix my settings before getting back in the water). all by — Rhododendrites ^talk |  13:40, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

  • It is indeed part of the log/branch it's standing on. And I'm thankful for it, because it combined the perks of being on land (visibility of the legs/feet) with the water (cleaner background .... except for the log itself :) ). — Rhododendrites ^talk |  13:50, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
