Thank you, George. Yes, it does resemble a Hoothoot!
It's like a Hoothoot hahaha nice pic
Hahaha, thanks for the laugh, Tukup.
Beautiful bird. Unfortunate accident regarding the other leg? :-) I think its amazing how they can hide a leg and foot that big, all while doing a balancing act. Thanks for sharing Mauna.
That’s funny; I also enjoyed its posture. Thanks for the comment, Roy.
