The aviary had a new member this week that comes from down under and always wears a mask - the Masked Lapwing.

I saw a bird that looks very much like this at the Worcester Ecoterriam, but he had red where this fellow is yellow. A very interesting bird to say the least. This is a very fine clear shot of him too.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Very funny post! He's looking as if he is up to something and that is why he's wearing that mask! LOL
Great shot with beautiful colors.

I love your composition on this one. Everything is placed just as it should be. Wonderful take on the bird and to top it all off the clarity is tack sharp. I'm saving this one.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon

Great pic of this bird Charlie ... a new one to me. Sharp detail full screen. PJ's comment echo's my thought about the composition ... the dark greens add a perfect contrast to wonderful bird capture.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

Never saw this fellow before. Love that face. Looks like me when I get up in the morning.

What an unusual bird! I love his colorings and strange look. It's a wonderful image, full of clarity and colours. :)
