    One of my favorite bird families from the Old World!
    Even though they always look incredibly ornate when seen up close, their camouflage is unparalleled, and we only spotted these by pure accident when we stopped to look at another bird, and suddenly realized four of them were foraging in the grass right in front of us!     Posted 2 years ago
