These birds have beautiful coloration IMO and I like the long legs and long curved bill.

Hey Ben,

Nice work here! That curved bill is crazy! It almost doesn't seem real that it could really be that curved and still work!

They sometimes walk forward with these bills in the water seeking food.

Very cool. Love the profile
