This one is definitely one that only his mother could love. Do you recognize it? (hint: this is a very common bird) Some of my best http://www.lamsonweb.com/Galleries/Photography http://lamson.zenfolio.com/

This rather colorful chick grows up to be one of the drabbest of the water fowl, the American Coot. Some of my best http://www.lamsonweb.com/Galleries/Photography http://lamson.zenfolio.com/

Regards, Dick:) Yes, sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to nature. Now here is the opposite situation in which a very drab chick turns into a rather ornate Bald Ibis.

It is hard to capture them so close. ------------------------------------------- www.ankimo.net - nature photographers website -------------------------------------------
