What a gorgeous bird—-it looks part peacock.
This Wikipedia article notes the similarity to the peacock too:

Seems these birds have to be on the lookout for jaguars.
Somehow there's always a cat of some kind hovering around endangering critters.... (Don't take it personally, Sam. I know you read these posts.)

Thank you for sharing this photo. The feathers on this bird are absolutely stunning! (And probably in high demand by hunters?) Isn't Nature incredible?
Love & Light,

Absolutely stunning!

I like this bird better than peacocks. Peacocks always look as if they're about to topple over with the weight of those tails when they're fanning them out. T
