I was hoping you'd post a younger one. That bill looks so old and worn already. So sorry to hear they're declining.

Sad to hear that this beautiful bird is threatened but we are doing that to much of our birds, fishes and other wildlife all over the planet. Hopefully those that care can make a difference.
Super photo of this large beauty.
