Coots

Coots are all water birds and abound on the lakes near my home. They have predominantly black plumage and eat mainly plant material....the grass all along the bike path. The oldest known coot lived to be 22 years old.
In the winter there are so many but where do they go in the summer? Apparently they just move north a bit to get out of our severe heat in the summer. A few more months and they will be leaving.
