What a beauty! I love the bright orange/red bill and wispy crest. I see them often while strolling Dauphin Island, Alabama. Such pretty shore birds! Reply
Found one of these guys with its beak stuck in some black object shaped like an avocado (I think he may have been trying to eat it) . Anyway, my wife and I helped him out and got his beak out and now we have to get him to the local wildlife refuge. Reply

They are beautiful birds, no doubt. I rather like the wispy feathers on the crest. Kinda punk…
