coots
Crotchety elderly folks
Coots are dark waterbirds with white bills, found on lakes and ponds.
They bob their heads as they swim and have lobed toes rather than webbed feet.
An old coot is an eccentric or grumpy elderly person, usually a man: That old coot has been yelling at kids to stay off his lawn for thirty years.
