I made this image in Brazil.
These birds are 35'' tall and have a wing span of about 5' 6'' feet they live around marshes and feed on vegetation.

Canon 20D
100- 400mm with 1.4x
F8.0
1/160
Exposure compensation +1/3

Very interesting looking bird that I haven't seen before. Do they all come with that little 'antenna'? I like the details and exposure control. I might give it a bit more room at the bottom and blur the BG.

Love the BKGR, the cool bird, the sharpness, and the image itself. Wish that you could have gotten a bit higher.

Was the bird on a nest?

Hi Artie,
