Amazing bird- you got his number! Rather pretty for a vulture, eh? Cindy

Wonder shot of a strangely interesting bird. Amazing how such beautiful colors can be put together to make such a homely bird. FL Storks are so homely but in flight they're the most graceful bird you'll see. Linda

A very colorful chap and you have caught his beady-eyed stare beautifully. I saw one of these in the wild in Spain once, and I thought it was kind of creepy looking. ;-)

I think he looks kind of comical - in a looking at him on a computer screen several thousand miles away kind of way
Nicely captured Laura. Nick Malone
