Fulica americana
It's a smallish black duck with a white beak and orangish red eyes.
American Coots are found near water—reed-ringed lakes and ponds, open marshes, and sluggish rivers. They prefer freshwater environments, but may temporarily live in saltwater environments during the winter months.
Lots of these guys on East Salish Pond.
