American Coots (Fulica americana) are common lake and marsh birds. Like their cousin, the Moorhen, Coots make a wide range of sounds, from quacks and honks to whistles and rattles. This sample spans several individuals' different vocalizations, and gives a feel for the sounds a Coot can make. Coots and Moorhens make some sounds which are indistinguishable from each other, but Coots are generally more nasal sounding and make more "honking" sounds.
