They strolled around like fierce chickens, too young to know any better. I felt so lucky to watch generations of hawks emerge from that park. I also spent seven months documenting the life of a single urban red-tail. Hopefully I can share that story with you in a future post.

Plus, I mean, it’s a giant chicken-looking thing that’s actually related to ducks… with that kind of identity crisis going on, what’s not to love? Horned Screamer Michael McDonald is a lot like Wile E Coyote and would like to see a Rufous-vented Ground-cuckoo ! My most-desired Brazilian bird? Wicked, right?
