June was a rainy month and for the first time in years, many of the prairie marshes are full … of both water and babies! American coots are wonderful birds, and this coot parent was paying very close attention to her baby as it explored its marsh home!🪶

Baby coots are the epitome of one of my late mother's favourite expressions: "So ugly it's cute". She loved little weird looking critters & passed that love onto us

Great photo 👏🏻 Coots are so fun to observe. Several years ago, we saw (& heard 🤭) a family in Cranberry Marsh, near Whitby ON. It was wonderful to watch them over the course of the summer.

So much of this makes me smile. The adorable, hilarious baby, the attentive parent and the fact that you’ve got water and the habitat they need this year!

These used to swim by on the lake that my undergrad was next to. I was fascinated by them.

They're called poule d'eau in Louisiana, water chicken.
