Amazing big bill and feet. This bird always reminds me of dinosaur. I like the environment too. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing.

Nice stepping pose Ken. I like the habitat included and the sprinkling of violet flowers that add color to the image. Well done!

Amazing, Ken. I never would have thought that bird went with water until you showed the foot. Very well photographed.

This is great Ken, love the raised foot and the setting with the flowers, one of the better images I have seen of this species.
