Good close-up shot with sharp details. Looks good against that background.

Great capture, but he sure is an ugly customer. He has some unusual coloring. Nice close-up though.

Sandi, by its beak, it wouldn't amaze me that it's a far relative of the turkey family. Was smiling about Carol's comment (he sure is an ugly customer). Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, my friend,☺!
Good one however!

Your bird images are always worth looking at...a lot, I have never heard of, so these are a lesson to open my mind.

On my grandfather, his wattle just looked old. On this guy... well, I bet he's always got a date for Saturday night.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
