Observation details
I believe I heard 4 or 5 birds in multiple locations. Seems to be a candidate as a breeder at Munuscong. Must be cautious separating calls from coot though. Luckily I was able to get good looks at one to confirm what I was hearing. One other gave a particular call unlike any coot call, the "ca-ca-ca" call. Bird in pic gave great looks as it came out and sat on that log in the photo, but as I grabbed my coworkers camera it slipped slightly back in the grass. Photo taken at: 46.21306, 84.23593 though I did hear one along the dyke past the boat launch and campground off Krause RD.
