They are such strange birds! Did you know that with their bright orange and red feathers, North American coot chicks stick out like safety vests? A new study by the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) indicates that such coloration not only serves to get more food out of the parents, but is also a means of maximizing the bird's reproductive strategy! I hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for your support of this channel.
Thank you Anna. She picked a great bird to be her favourite. I appreciate your great support. Wishing you all a great rest of July and wonderful August.
How cute and gorgeous they're,and so beautiful place and it feels so relaxing to watch them, beautiful place and Beautiful video 📸 Great work Dear,Have a Great weekend 😊
Thank you very much Dinesh! I captured these at one of my favorite places to go beautiful and relaxing describe it perfectly. Wishing you a wonderful day.
American Coots are extremely cool birds and your scenes of their life are so beautiful. Their feet are a treasure to behold and that dive is something out of the olympics - a quick jump and a graceful move. I don't understand about the chick's colors even though I read what the study said. Still seems like a risk to be so colorful and so cute ;) Thank you for the beautiful views Becca. Best regards, Cathy
Thank you very much Cathy. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I don't understand about their color either, it just seems dangerous for them to be that brightly colored, but as always, nature knows best. Thank you for your continued support.
Yes they are! They have such big personalities (and feet :) I just read an article that the more brightly colored chicks are the ones that get fed more often which I thought was fascinating. Thank you for your continued support Donna.
Thank you! Yes, when I first saw a coot chick - I wondered what bird it was, as the babies and adults look very different. Thank for taking the time to comment. I am grateful for your support.
Great slow motion shots there Becca. Lovely to see the colourful chicks. Beware predators! I presume they are closely related to the coots that we have here. All the best, Rob
Thank you Rob. Since I learned how to use that function on my camera, I've fallen in love with it. Thank you for your support. Wishing you a great day and rest of July.
