Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Australian Stone Curlew

I love photographing these Australian Stone Curlews at the Calgary Zoo. They pose so nicely and are quite amusing when they tilt their head to one side while looking at you : ) The background is awful, I know, LOL. In the wild, it would make excellent camouflage, but is certainly not the best for a photo. Seen through glass.

This Australian Stone Curlew put on quite a display while I was trying to take photos of it at the Calgary Zoo. Several people standing nearby were quite amused at the way this bird kept turning its head at different angles while watching me through the glass. The name given was Australian Stone Curlew, but now I'm not sure if that means Bush Stone Curlew. Will have to check the sign when I am next there.
