A tender moment between an American coot and its hellspawn. • The American coot is a somewhat drab water bird with gray and black feathers and a white beak, common in wetlands throughout North America. Coot chicks, however, sport outrageously bright orange and red feathers, skin, and beaks. Researchers have found that coot chicks that hatch later than their nestmates are more brightly colored—which signals to parents that the smaller, brighter chicks need to be fed more to catch up with their siblings. 📸 of coot pair by Peter Pearsall #americancoot #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #MalheurNationalWildlifeRefuge #friendsofmalheur
