Observation details
Are these coots resident in El Jicarito? It would seem hard to believe that they migrated any distance with the remiges in the state they're in as seen here. According to Pyle (2008), coots have a Definitive Pre-basic molt that takes place primarily on the breeding grounds. As in many rails, the flight feathers are dropped all at once and for a couple of weeks, the individual remains flightless.
