Nice shot. While the "Bin Chicken" cops a bit of a bad wrap here in Oz I love them for their textured skin. One of my own favourite photos is a similar shot of the white ibis. Well done.

What a great catch, Todd! I didn't know such an Ibis existed - I wonder what evolutionary process gave this type of Ibis a dark head and beak????

Thanks so much! I assumed because we saw them just about everywhere that we went, that they are regarded similar to our wild Turkeys here in the US.

It is a birder's paradise for sure.

Sticking their heads in mud, maybe?

The Australian Straw-necked Ibis is similarly dark, at least on the head!

Thanks Rob! This one wasn't bothered at all with me getting close up to him. A lot of people were around, so I suppose he was used to it.
