The Season ... 23
The Season ... 23


This image was
captured at noon ...
bird panting to
keep the body cool
... with ambient temp.
close to 45 deg. ...

difficult to see
without shading or
squinting in the
high brightness levels ...

... air simmering all
the while ... the bird
smallish ... blending
perfectly with the
habitat and a fair
distance away ...

... as can be seen
in a video clip ...

They're such lovely birds... a species I'd really like to see.

A super picture this Alok - and many thanks for the video too; I'll link it to Opus later.
 
Great job showing the stress that your wildlife is under, Alok. Keep cool my friend.
