The American Coot (Fulica Americana) or Mud Hen, is a fascinating and unique bird. The Coot is a medium-sized waterbird that is often found in ponds, marshes, and reservoirs. They are sometimes referred to as a cross between a chicken and a duck, as on land they waddle in a similar manner to a chicken, and on water they swim and feed like a duck, reports All About Birds. Although it enjoys being on land occasionally, it spends the majority of its time in the water.
