Field Notes

Description:

I have met people who claim these are Crested Coots because of the red on the chicks heads. They say the red knobs of Crested Coots cannot be seen. Here is a picture of a Crested Coot with a chick: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/Fulica_cristat…

Habitat:

Coastal marshes
