Wait, what? I was right when I said, "coot?" I erased my answer so others could play.

I guess I am really confused. I was wondering why one image looked like short tail feathers and the other looked like long tail feathers. So, 3 different birds.

 

[Kevin H]

I've seen this done on other forums they usually number them and when one is correct they say yes then post the whole bird

Yes but a tad more should be said , so I can continue with a precedent of a full common name ?

 

[Kevin H]

American Coot

Ok Ill remember to number them, but is the full name a good requirement?
