Coot with chicks - A first for me!

[Ira Runyan]

At the Viera Wetlands where the Osprey nest tower is located, you can see a pair of Coots that did not migrate back north, and what's more, they have nested and are raising their chicks! A second pair is in the same area and may be sitting on a nest.

I have never seen Coots nest here, so this is a first for me......
