Description
The American coot (Fulica americana) is also known as a mud hen. I've seen many coots in my life but somehow never had a chance to see their feet. I expected webbed feet of ducks but coots have broad, lobed scales on their lower legs and toes that fold back with each step. Absolutely mind blowing.
