What we always called a peule deau is actually a Grebe and not a coot. We called the Gallinule's a "Moor hen" and a coot was a coot... Funny how different locale's identify things in "slang" terms... I mean a dang white perch ain't no sock-a-lay... Even hard for me to recognize them as a crappie cause they dang sure ain't crappie! Thay's dang good eatin'!!
