American Coots have red forehead plates, and Eurasian Coots have tall white ones. Eurasian Coots are not found in California. See the difference here: American Coot: http://gallery.photo.net/photo/10381431-lg.jpg Eurasian Coot: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4105/4979794502_c9cf0f7ed4.jpg

Didn't notice the location at first. The Eurasian Coot is quite out of range.
