	Eurasian Coot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Eurasian Coot, or just Coot, Fulica atra, is a member of the rail and crake bird family, the Rallidae.
		The Coot is much less secretive than most of the rail family, and can be seen swimming on open water or walking across waterside grasslands.
		It is largely fl except for the white facial shield (which gave rise to the phrase "as bald as a coot").

	Eurasian Coot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is resident in the milder parts of its range, but migrates further south and west from much of Asia in winter as the waters freeze.
		The Coot is 36-42 cm long, and is largely fl except for the white facial shield (which gave rise to the phrase "as bald as a coot").
		The Eurasian Coot is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.

	Eurasian Coot
		The Eurasian Coot is recognised by its snowy white bill and forehead shield.
		The Eurasian Coot is able to compress its feathers and squeeze out all of the air, which allows it to dive deeply and for longer periods.
		Eurasian Coots may breed at any time that conditions are favourable, and may produce successive broods.

	Coot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The coots are medium-sized water birds which are members of the rail family.
		They tend to have short, rounded wings and be weak fliers, although northern species are nevertheless capable of covering long distances; the American Coot has reached Great Britain and Ireland on rare occasions.
		Coots can walk and run vigorously on strong legs, and have long toes that are well adapted to soft, uneven surfaces.

	Australian coot, Fulica atra australis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The coot is represented by similar species with virtually the same habits throughout the Palaearctic region from Iceland to Japan, and in most other parts of the world.
		Coots may form large flocks out of the breeding season and are not unlike dabchicks in the way they skitter across the water.
		The word coot, in some parts of England pronounced cute, or scute, is of uncertain origin but may have something to do with the sound of its piercing loud call.

	British Garden Birds - Coot
		The Coot is plump with a short tail and is similar to the larger Moorhen, which has a red bill and shield.
		The Coot's plumage is sooty-grey, and its bill and frontal shield are white, though the bill can sometimes have a pink or yellow tinge to it.
		Coots feed on aquatic plants, like duckweed and grasses, and animals such as snails and larvae brought up from the bottom of the pond or river.

	Birds of Perth
		Coots vary from other rails, as they prefer to spend most of their time diving for food on open water, rather than foraging in deep reed beds like most rails.
		The behavior of coots is more like that of a grebe or diving duck than a rail, as their feet have flat, lobbed toes especially adapted for diving and swimming underwater.
		In the Perth area, the Eurasian Coot is one of the most common waterfowl, and can be found at most wetlands and lakes, including ornamental lakes or man-made drainage systems.

	Coot - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		These rails are all predominantly fl in plumage, and, unlike many of the rails, they are usually easy to see, swimming in open water rather than skulking in reedbeds.
		They tend to have short, rounded wings and be weak fliers, although nevertheless capable of covering long distances; the American Coot has reached Great Britain and Ireland on rare occasions.

	BBC - Science & Nature - Wildfacts - Coot, Eurasian coot,
		Coots are related to moorhens, but they do not compete for food and are often found in the same habitat.
		Coots are round-bodied, short-tailed birds with large legs.
		Coots have a wide repertoire of calls, including a loud 'kowk' monosyllable, an explosive 'pitts!' sound and a trumpeting 'pe pe-eu' call when flying around their territory.

		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 at exZOOberance!
		Coot, common name for any member of a genus of birds of the rail family, also called mud hens or swamphens due to their habitat in the marshy borders of streams and lakes.
		Coots have a short, straight bill, the base of which extends up the forehead to form a horny shield.
		There are five additional species of coot in South America, one in Africa, and one in the Caribbean area; the latter may be merely a variety of the American coot.

		Coots have lobed toes which help them swim, and they often swim in loose flocks with ducks.
		American Coots are common throughout much of Canada and the US on small lakes and park ponds, where they often beg for food along with the more typical park Mallards and Mute Swans.
		This Eurasian Coot was photographed at Kensington Park, London, England.

		In 2000, up to four hybrids of Common Moorhen Gallinula chloropus and Eurasian Coot Fulica atra were observed in several ponds at Warnsborn near Arnhem, Gelderland, the Netherlands.
		In 2000, one hybrid was paired with a Eurasian Coot; two consecutive clutches (with eggs closely resembling those of Eurasian Coot) were laid and incubated for more than a month but no young hatched.
		The hybrids showed characteristics of Eurasian Coot (for example, size and lack of white pattern on flank) and Common Moorhen (for example, white undertail and green legs), as well as intermediate features, such as small lobes on the toes.

	Switzerland Birding 1995
		In the afternoon I dragged my parents, who in the mean time had returned from a vacation, to a walk along the Aare River, at the hamlet Berken near the two towns both called Walliswil.
		We spent most of the morning on a small observation hill overlooking the cattail marsh and giving a clear view to the lake scanning for whatever flew or swam by.
		Our next stop was along the remnant of what was once the Aare River (part of a massive drainage project, most of the water of that river now flows through a series of canals and through Lake Biel) near the village of Dotzigen.
