| I saw a single coot and lots of wood pigeons perched in the dead trees surrounding the lagoon. |
| However, there were plenty of resident shorebirds hanging out in the lagoon as well, such as the American coot, killdeer, and American avocet. |

| Of course, native birds such as the American coot, mallard, and Brewer's blackbird also used this valuable oasis. |
| Sibelius was portrayed as a grim faced gentleman with mad, bulging eyes, bald as a coot. |
