Description
A pair of Andean Guan sit quietly on a fence on the outskirts of the Acaime Natural Reserve, enjoying the peace and quiet of the mountainous habitat that they make their home.
These are medium-sized birds, measuring about 40–58 centimetres (16–23 in) in length and weighing about 500-840 grams (1.1-1.8 lbs).[3] They are long-bodied with thin necks and small heads, and similar in shape to turkeys but more slender and elegant. The plumage is overall brown with whitish edging to the feathers of the head, neck and chest. It has a red dewlap and reddish legs.

Fascinating birds! Incredibly well shot. For some reason, I had to turn off the adult content warning to view this one. Thank you for submitting this beautifully captured and identified bird image which has been featured on the homepage of the group, Wild Birds Of The World - A Nature Photography Group - L/F

Thanks very much William! I wonder if there is something in the wording that causes the block in viewing...? I should go back and try and revise it somehow to see if it makes a difference. It hasn't gotten many views...that could be the reason! Anyway, thank you very much for your awesome comments as always and the feature!
