In many parts of the U.S. the American Coot is a common game bird, but here in Anchorage, AK it is a rarely seen accidental. Local birders got excited when there was a sighting of one on Lake Hood, the sea-plane portion, of Anchorage International Airport. On Saturday I made two trips over to the lake, I saw other birders, but no Coot. Today I got lucky, and found the Coot in one of the float plane tie down canals.
