Please pardon the not so hot picture but it was all I could get after stalking this rare bird for days.
Local photographer Juan Bahamon, not to be out done, claims he is trying to get a shot of an Asian cousin called the Roseate Chopstickbill.

I don't believe either of these statements! Great idea and execution.

I know where there's a whole colony of these Forkbills but I'm sworn to secrecy.

Cool shot. This should probably be in the EHK/DC forum.

WAtch out, the third sex of this unusual bird is the knifebill. That is the dangerous one, especially in dark alleys. This is a TRoica arrangement, one fertilizes the egg, one mates with the fertilizer to release the sperm, the egg producer requires the warmth of both bodies to ovulate. It is a strange and rarely seen dance. This only happens on fullmoons on the 29th of February.
I am sure someone on this talented board might find such a shot in their files.
