Anybody can make up names and numbers. And are you sure that was a Coot? Maybe it was just a muskrat that was swimming a little high in the water. At least I had one photo. How many did you take? Good list Jerry, We seem to be seeing more Coots in the area in the past few years.

This was the first Coot that I've seen in Russell County. I also saw 10 Wood Ducks along with another 15 Mallards at the Mud Hole. Jerry
