This guys is quite large, not too shy and he has this habit of flicking his tail up about once every second, sort of like a wren does. He's as big as a chicken and easy to see, and it also makes noise.

Nice work, Mitch. I've seen pictures, but no actual experience with this bird.

Some very nice shoots of a funny-looking bird! I love their feet - looks like Christmas cactus:)

Thanks Joe, Downy and Phil. He was a little far away for the Bigma, and I left the 1.4x in the truck. I was also on a floating dock using the tripod, so I think there was some movement. But this is the first one I have ever seen, and didn't even know they were around here. But he was easy to spot, cause he makes noise and he doesn't blend in with the toolies. :D
