While walking along Fish Creek, in the south part of Calgary, Alberta I found a dead bird. It had the most amazing webbed feet; unlike a duck, they were lobed and the a beautiful green and yellow color. The bird was a nondescript gray and unfortunately the head was missing so I was not able to identify the bird for some time. Coots are able to walk under water.
