Coo. Strange Bird; Not Army Pest.


This story is not about what you
think II is when you read the word
coots. This is about birds and not the
we'll known army pest. You have
heard the expression. Thin as rail';
and this applies to the family OF which
the railbird and coot are members.
Those birds are marsh dwellers and
nature has provided them with COM
pressed bodies like that Of flea so
they can slip better thru dense vege-
tation along the waters edge where
they live, writes A. A. Allen. assistant
professor of ornithology at Cornell In
the American Forestry magazine OF
Washington which Is conducting the
national bird house building contest.
Hunters and those who haunt the
marshes know this bird which Is called
also mud hen" or water chicken be-
cause in a good many ways 1t re-
sembles the barnyard fowl. II coot
meets with an accident In migration
and falls in some out of the way place
where the bird Is unfamiliar, II is
likely to arouse considerable excite
ment and to be mistaken for some
sort of a hybrid between duck and
a
and a quail.
The coot builds its nest so close 10
the water level in the marsh vegeta-
ton that In periods Of high water II
often has to add to the nest to keep the
eggs dry. When swimming the coot
looks like a duck but when seen on
land or walking along the border OF
marsh they do not resemble ducks In
the least but appear more like busy
little hens picking at everything as
they step along. lifting their feet
rather high and putting them down
carefully as though they were always
sneaking up on some wary Insect or
luckless tadpole. This bird fs not SO
cautious with its voice as In It's other
habits and some Of the most startling
sounds that ever come from the
marshes can be traced to them. They
are especially noisy early in the morn
ing and at dusk and occasionally
break out even in the middle OF the
night .......
