Why would anyone take the time to photograph a Moorhen?

Just another shot of the Common Moorhen at the Viera Wetlands. Sometimes, I wonder about myself.............

    because you can - and you will - and they are always great - your shots of the florida birds are always great to see - here or on POTN

    Because a Moorhen is a part of nature and beautiful, in it's own sort of quirky way! :D

    I feel that way about Canada Geese. Now if I had a moorhen to photograph...

    It depends what you are used to I guess:)

    Why? Because I live in Washington state and have never seen one. rolleyes1.gifA common bird in your area may not be so common in another.

    I think that it's a good looking bird, unique pose and you did an excellent job on the exposure!
