Hannibal's Animals: Shrek, is that you?

Shrek, is that you?

Is there any North American bird species that can even come close to this magnificent plumage? Not in my opinion! This is the first time I have been able to capture the horns, which reminded me of Shrek, minus the ugly.

I have never seen more beautiful tufts!

What a beautiful bird!
