Fluidr / Not an Ugly Duckling! by Jim Frazee

American Coots are neither ugly nor ducks - they're swimming Rails. I don't blame people for thinking they're not attractive, though, since they're so common and since it's so hard to see them up close, in good light. Come to think of it, it's hard to photograph them for the same reasons. If you don't think they're beautiful, then check out this image by my good friend Jeannie and she will prove you wrong. Be sure to check it out in Light Box view, too.
