Coot "chick"

These little Coots are one of the "ugliest" baby birds I've ever encountered.

Taken in a marsh area in Wisconsin. Very little PP, Contrast and Sharpen.

Reminds me of an expression and old friend used to use.... "silly old coot...???" I never really understood what he meant, or rather where the expression came from but this sure gives a clue?

Lots of texture and if you were going to get eaten, one would hope by something a little more attractive? :-)

You are right; it does seem like one of those where one is inclined to comment, "only a mother can love such a face..." or words to that effect. Beautiful scene, nicely captured.
