Subject: [ia-bird] American Coot foraging and feeding on Zebra Mussel.
What do Coot eat nowadays before the vegetation emerges
[image: Coot with zebra mussles Storm Lake April 20 2024 178.JPG]
?
It appears to be Zebra Mussel.
I kept seeing Coot bringing small black balls of something to shore and
pecking on it. Then I zoomed in and got a photo to find out it is a small
ball of Zebra Mussels it had dove down and broke loose.
