Hi, Donna! What a neat bird! Very unusual and very unique and you've captured him beautifully! I recently saw one of these fellows at the San Antonio Zoo - it's called a Cassowary - a flightless bird native to New Guinea. #10247308

Excellent image - and thanks to Val for telling us which bird it is. The colors and details are really nice and I like that there's no distracting background. #10247627

Val Feldman level-deluxe 7/28/2012 7:28:17 AM

I told you wrong, Donna! This bird, tho similar in coloring, has a different type of back plumage from the cassowary - think this is the much smaller guinea hen....but regardless of it's name, the colors and details are wonderful! Great catch! #10247650
