Coots are small water birds that are members of the Rallidae (rail) family. They constitute the genus Fulica. Coots have predominantly black plumage, often swimming in open water. They are close relatives of the moorhen. A photograph of an original hand-colored engraving from The History of British Birds by Morris published in 1853
