  This bird looks ready to party! He's a lot cuter than some ugly birds, just a little different ;)

  You are so right Jack. He is colorful and he is ugly. A face only mom could love. But hes also very interesting and has a beauty there. I love the incredible colors and the amazing details of its features that you bring out. You may not have turned the ugly duckling into a swan here, but your photo work brought the best out of him you could my friend.

  What an amazing (but yes, pretty ugly) bird! It's supposed to hit 99 here today, so I'm leaning toward drunk and hopefully not TOO crazy!

  I'll bet his mate thinks he's pretty handsome. Great shot, Jack, even though you had to shoot through dirty glass.

  I think he's cool. Love his bright colouring. You captured him beautifully. You might want to read my comment on my upload last night, to explain my crazy behaviour!

  Fantastic capture Jack, I don't know what I was looking at when you took this picture because I don't ever remember seeing this guy. Hope you have a great time celebrating your grandsons first birthday and try to stay cool my friend.

  I wonder why a vulture would have such vibrant coloring? Great shot, Jack!!

A little surf today, sunny skies and warm water...no more whining from me until at least Monday :-)

  Oh I think we can safely call this one a party duck. You have to love that personality!

  Maybe strange, but he is beautiful. I wanted so much to see this bird in Costa Rica. Fine capture. Hard to believe it is through glass.
