Bubble head...I have no idea what this bird is up to

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

But it was entertaining to watch...coots just want to have fun!

Great photo of an american coot. They apparently splash "during mating season to attract attention.... and to discourage predators". As for the bubble at the rear of the bird, I can only think of Shrek ;) .
Thank you. And thank you for some info on coot behavior!
