The Jackson 5

Okay, I know I’ve milked the music theme a lot, but hey, we were at Jackson Lake, and there were 5 ducklings, so . . . :-)   (Thanks to the Birding Bunch who verified it really is a coot.  That’s a hoot!  No, I mean coot!)
Actually, at first I thought it was a coot.  I was shooting from the road above the lake before we went down to lakeside.  The mama was swimming out from the reeds, and as I shot 1, now 2, 3, 4, 5 babies swam out.  So cute! (or coot!)  :-)
If anyone can tell me what kind of a duck this is, I’d appreciate it.  I think my bird book is useless!  (True, my bird book is rather useless.  Their picture is nothing like this mama.)
