Bell Bird (1 of 1)
Three-wattled Bellbird: I would cast this bird to be in Pirates of the Caribbean. It acts like that too. It was taking a high perch, opening its beak wide and coughing up a piercing call that carried like a bullhorn. I guess it sounded like music to the females of the species although this one may have been a bit off tune, as no females were in evidence. The Wattles would blow in the wind and looked like they would be a nuisance to me but then, I’m no Bellbird. (Procnias tricaruncalatus) (Sony a1, 400mm 2.8 with a 1.4 extender giving 560mm, 1/3200 second, f/4.5, !SO 800; enhanced sky)
