An American Coot, A Morning Supplement
I do have a lot of photographs from previous walks that I have yet to publish. "A Morning Supplement" is a new feature I am adding to While on a Walk to publish some of these photos. It will be an occasional supplement published as time allows (so probably, very occasional).
This set of photos of an American coot was taken on my walk along the Eagleland Reach of the San Antonio River this past Monday, December 24.
The American coot is a fascinating bird in that it looks very much like a duck, at least when it is swimming, but it's not a duck. For one thing, it does not have webbed feet. Coots don't look much like a Rail, but are actually in the same taxonomic family: Rallidea:
