Nice shots Birdie.

Tell me more about the "Great Crested Screamer" - never heard of that one before, and Google doesn't bring anything up either....

Steve, the crested screamers get there name due to a loud cry during the breeding courtship. They(WWT) are worried as no one has heard them scream yet. There is more info here
