| Bigfoot bi ds
walk on water.

By CAROL CAMPBELL i
Creston Valley Wildlife Centre
2. This morning a small group of prays -bodied, . black-
headed, red-eyed animals were seen ‘in the ‘Corn Creek
Marsh. Two wary canoeists approached the animals with,
caution. They were able to get within abaut 10 metres of the
group when, miraculously the animals began running along
the surface of the.water before disappearing to the north,
When asked todescribe the animals in detail the two shaken
canoeists could only mutter something about incredibly: big
feet.

Unusual? Not really. These incredible birds are seen.
every day by millions of people across North America.‘ *;:

Often misidentified as: a- duck: and “called by / ‘such *
derogatory names as mudhen, the bird with the big’ feet is:
none other than’ the coot.

Coots use their amazingly big feet ina variety’ of ways.
Their long, lobed toes have a large surface area and act like
big paddles making swimming and diving easier. At the end
of each greenish-yellow toe there is a long, curved nail. These
nails provide coots with very. effective built-in back
scratchers.

In spring, the birds use their well-equipped fect. as
weapons | against. each other. - Aggressive _males.‘often

cipate in, vicious, foot fights to establish a dominance

order. With the long claws of one foot each bird grabs’ its’ |:

opponent by the breast’ and: uses its other foot to slap its
adversary with. If possible, the stronger bird will hold the
weaker bird utderwater and leisurely pluck its feathers out.’
After this brief period in spring, coots become less
aggressive towards each other.

Later in the breeding season, Shen confronted by an
intruder, coots typically.run along the. surface of the water
and chase the individual away without physical contact.
Since coots are poor fliers they must run on the water to get

up enough speed for’ take-off.

“ '3f-you're interested in ‘geoing Bigfoot, the: bird: that
waiks on water, try a ‘canoe -trip.at, the, Creston. Valley
Wildlife ‘Centre, , It is ‘located. 10'km ‘west of the town of
Creston on Highway 38. It is: ‘open every day from 9° am’: 7
