Boo!!! Coot Dracula - a photo on Flickriver

            It's fun when you find opportunities to add humor to your photography.  I didn't realize what I had in this image until I got home and discovered it on my computer screen.

The American coot is considered a mundane bird, but if you take time to observe them, they become quite photogenic.

Long live the coot!
