This funny little Coot (Fulica alai) found in our copy of Charles Wilkes’ Narrative of the United States exploring expedition…  shows our disproportionate feathered friend in a stunning hand colored plate by Titian Ramsay Peale. 

Wilkes, Charles, 1798-1877. Narrative of the United States exploring expedition during the years 1838, 1840, 1841, 1842.   Philadelphia : Lea and Blanchard, 1845.

A Feathursday Coot from @librarycompany. Love those toes!
