Congrats on the HM. Wendy. I absolutely love this fabulous photo. It could grace the cover of a bird book.

lol .. your title . !! ..
of course this is a wonderful bird photo and totally satisfies the challenge .
and now that you have talked about the difficulty of preening with a beak like that i wonder how they do it too .. maybe their very long neck helps .
seeing this getting a ribbon as its brilliant .. :)

Beautiful detail. It looks like he is looking at you like, “hey, can I get a little privacy?”
