		In recommending the coot as an "antidote for the blues", Job was not amiss; it is still touted as one of, if not the funniest bird on fresh water, and it looke the part.
		Coots eat almost anything they can lay their white beaks into, and top it off with such delicacies as water milfoil, bur reed, and wild celery.

		You are advised to run Coot so that you can see the console and the graphics window at the same time, since feedback from atom clicking (for example) is often written there rather than displayed in the graphics window.
		Coot blocks as it does this (which is not ideal) but on a semi-decent internet connection, it's not too bad.
		Sometimes (rarely) coot misses symmetry-related molecules that should be displayed.

	Coot, Fulica atra
		For the celebration sweet foods were prepared from an abundance of eggs collected from the nests of coots and fl-headed gulls and, in all likelihood, other marsh and water birds.
		Although they swarmed on all the Broads and other fresh-water lakes of fair size, they were harassed by guns continually throughout the winter and had their nests plundered freely later on.
		I remember being badly scratched and bitten by a coot which I had rescued one autumn night after it had dropped through a skylight of a house in Yarmouth, mistaking the glass for water.

		The forthcoming Birds of North America account for Hawaiian Coot states that several were seen in 1977 on Kaua'i, four reported by DOFAW (Department of Forestry and Wildlife) in 1982, 13 in August 1983, 35 in January 1984, 11 in August 1984 and 5 in January 1985.
		In Hawaiian Coot at least the frontal shield/knob often appears to be the last plumage characteristic to change to adult plumage, resulting in birds with adult-like body plumage but under-developed shields/knobs, which can be a pitfall for the unwary.
		Hawaiian Coots occasionally exhibit shield knobs which are not red or white, and these can vary from blue-gray to orange, to yellow to red and orange, and anywhere in between.

		Coot is for model building, model completion and validation.
		Coot displays maps and models and allows model manipulations such as idealization, real space refinement, manual rotation/translation, rigid-body fitting, ligand search, solvation, mutations, rotamers, Ramachandran plots...
		I should add that coot depends on many other projects, some general (GTk+, the GNU Scientific Library, python, guile, GL graphics libraries and toolkits) and others more specific to structural biology (mmdb, clipper) which are fundamental to the design and implementation of the program.

	uExpress.com: Covering The Courts by James J. Kilpatrick -- (05/30/2004) OF CODGERS, GEEZERS AND COOTS
		Finally, a "coot" is not only a waterfowl of the genus Fulica, it is also "a foolish, eccentric or senile person" (American Heritage); "a harmless simple person" (Merriam-Webster); "a stupid person" (Oxford); "an amusing old fellow" (New World); and "an unconventional or unreasonably stubborn person" (Encarta).
		Encarta and the Oxford American Dictionary have it wrong in defining a coot as "stupid" or "unreasonably stubborn." Coots are surprisingly well-informed on some matters, especially Republican politics, and they are only reasonably stubborn.
		A coot is not to be confused with a "cootie," a dog tick or body louse whose name is probably derived from the Malay kutu.

	Coot Birds Can Count, Study Says (Site not responding. Last check: )
		His study of an American coot colony in British Columbia, Canada, is the first to show that birds can keep a reckoning of the eggs they lay.
		In addition, coots have more opportunities for conspecific parasitism than many other birds, according to wildlife biologist John Eadie, from the University of California (Davis) department of wildlife, fish, and conservation biology.
		A recent study shows that American coots are able to distinguish between parisitic eggs and their own, and are able to "count" their clutch size.

	Audubon WatchList - Hawaiian Coot
		On rare occasions its relative the American Coot is found visiting the islands, but is easily distinguishable by its much smaller, dark maroon frontal shield, which gives it a sharply notched front profile.

		Hawaiian Coots are omnivorous, eating the seeds and leaves of aquatic plants, snails, small fish, tadpoles, crustaceans and insects.

	Peruvian mystery coot
		It is obvious why the coot was thought to be a Red-fronted Coot, as it shows a nice red shield, contrasting with a yellow bill.
		The Red-fronted Coot is a very moorhen-like coot, with a flat-backed look, long tail which it tends to cock up and large and usually flaring white undertail coverts.
		Have a look at the Peru mystery coot and these red patches are there, just difficult to see their extent due to the reddish color of the shield.

	Coot or Long-eared Owl?
		It didn't seem logic that a Coot was flying low at night, producing a call which did not at all seem to be meant to attract a mate.
		Not much can be concluded from this, apart from the fact that they seemed to recognise their own species and were chasen away rather than attracted by it.
		Since Coot are considered unable to sit in a tree because of the backward position of their legs (so unlike Moorhen), this still asks for an answer.
