Fulica americana
Photo 1 of 2 features a mysterious two-headed American Coot. But seriously, folks -- I'm amused by the duck's unusual reflection from the water! "Often mistaken for a duck, the American Coot is a common waterbird. Its all black body and white chicken-like beak distinguish this swimming rail from the real ducks."
