I agree with Tom that this resembles more a condor than a heron - even a green heron, which has shorter legs, has a much longer more pointed beak. Beautiful details in the feathers Thad.
Certainly an unusual bird Thad, looking at it's bill and plumage I see similarities to the Pigeon family. Clear details and a blurred background make for a good portrait.
Wow, what a fabulous close up and looks 3D on my computer in full. Just love all the colours and the way the green ones seem to shimmer, right into my favs
