Animal Wednesday - Chachalaca

This is another of my 70mph ATC's. This is a Chachalaca, a bird that is not the most glamorous thing to look at but I like them. You won't see them anyplace in the US except in South Texas. As big as they are (22") they can be difficult to see. They are so noisy so you can usually seek them out. They eat leaves and flowers. It is fun to see them "sneak-up" on a flower and gobble it down. They act like the flower might get away. Happy Animal Wednesday.
