Horned Screamer (Anhima cornuta)

Last couple times I've been to this marsh area I found near my town, I heard them call, but never seen them. What an amazing call they have.

This morning I got my first shot of one. Very far and bad image quality. But a lifer!
From what I've seen today, there's a pair living there. Such interesting species.
