You're right, SJ, "Coot" is the proper name--marsh hen is just a nickname. As far as the wenches go, well... you said it, not me... 
I've never really seen them in such large numbers before, I've seen one or two but this flock had about 30 or so birds--just awesome.
My dad tells me that my great uncles used to hunt them, way back. They're awfully fun to watch, chasing each other around, and diving underwater then popping back up...
