Bataille de deux foulques macroule mâles pour une femelle

            Male coots fighting over the female can be a lively and intense scene. The birds, with their black plumage and white beaks, approach each other, puff out their feathers and pounce on each other with vigor.
During this time, the female observes them attentively, perched on a rock or floating near the surface of the water. She may seem indifferent to their fight, but she probably assesses the strength and perseverance of each male, and will eventually choose the one who will prove most worthy of her company.
------------------------------------
Les foulques macroules mâles se battant pour la femelle peuvent être une scène animée et intense. Les oiseaux, avec leur plumage noir et leurs becs blancs, se rapprochent l'un de l'autre, gonflent leurs plumes et se jettent l'un sur l'autre avec vigueur.
Pendant ce temps, la femelle les observe attentivement, perchée sur un rocher ou flottant près de la surface de l'eau. Elle peut sembler indifférente à leur combat, mais elle évalue probablement la force et la persévérance de chaque mâle, et choisira éventuellement celui qui se montrera le plus digne de sa compagnie.
