An interesting looking bird showing very nice detail. Good background as well.

Oh wow, what a great shot, Ken! Great details in the this most unusual looking bird.

Hi Ken
An other great looking bird for half way around the world. Keep up the good work.

Excellent, Ken. I love the detail in the bird and the looks of it. The only thing I can suggest is that you probably could have stopped down considerably on this shot and might have been able to get the foreground in focus, but it’s certainly not an image killer.

Amazing bill they have ! Nice colours, well done ! Cheers, Hans

Really dig this one Ken! Great complimentary BG and nice to see a bird on a dirt hill or rock once in awhile. Great work!
