American Coot trio. Though commonly mistaken for ducks, American coots are only distantly related to ducks, belonging to a separate order. Unlike the webbed feet of ducks, coots have broad, lobed scales on their lower legs and toes that fold back with each step which facilitates walking on dry land. I saw several of them swimming, diving for food. These three rested briefly on the shallow edge of the lake.
