Yeah! One of my favorites! You didn't mention what kind of camera this was taken with. Perhaps that would have helped us.

Wow, what beautiful feathers!
I consulted a friend and we started thinking about ground bird camoflage. But that was as far as we got. We obviously need field trips to far off places to see new birds!
The Star Gate in 2001: A Space Odyssey. I always thought it was a FTL âmotorwayâ, not some brickbird.
I'm reminded of a certain Squib, and Mrs. Norris. And he certainly was a commoner...
okay, bardiac, camouflage is one possibility, but there's another .. in fact, if you actually saw this bird, my guess is that your camouflage guess would be the furthest thing from your mind!
