He (she?) lives at the Safari Park in Ramat Gan, Israel, just twenty or so minutes away. My husband bikes by the park on his way to work each morning and often catches a glimpse of rhinos, zebras, antelopes and other park residents. Not a bad morning commute, eh?
What a MARVELOUS capture of a most unusual bird. I shared an odd bird without quite so much class just this morning at Sacred Ruminations. Hugs and blessings,
Actually, he's a crowned crane. Click to enlarge for the full effect.

That's just beautiful :)
Where is he from?
What an incredible shot of a surprising and unique bird. I am impressed -- and jealous!
Looks like a fancy lady of old, albeit an odd looking one!
Great shot!
He's a beauty, but when I clicked to look up close, I saw all the dirt in his mouth! Funny.
way cool.
GREAT shot! It does look kind of like a little old lady...with a hat! What a cool looking bird!
What an interesting looking creature
Beautiful and very distinctive.
And I'm pretty sure he is not native to Israel ;)
Wow,what a beauty!
That's quite a bird. And to think, it used to be a dinosaur.

Wow...cool and beautiful face!
We just have cranes in our zoos. Is this your pet?
It was in the zoo Judy, definitely not a pet.
Just gorgeous and he/she knows it too!
I love his eye, and his neck feathers, they look painted on they are so perfect. His mama need to teach him to use a napkin to wipe his mouth. :)
Quite the dandy! I bet he's a real lady's man.
Great shot! He's very colorful!
Wow -- that's an amazing shot, especially when enlarged. Wonderful.
Nice picture. I had an elementary teacher that looked like that to me.
Great picture!
Fabulous shot. This is the second crowned crane .. saw the first one at the Little Rock Zoo in the last millennium
Exotic and regal looking, isn't he?
Robin what an outstanding job with this bird. This little shot does not do the full photo justice the eye is so clear and sharp wonderful job!
That's really gorgeous!

That is a great shot! I agree that he looks like an old grand dame with a fancy chapeau.
I see what Leora means..dirt in his mouth.
How uncouth!
Fun photo, Robin. ;-)
Wow. This is chrystal clear, such a perfect picture Robin!!
What a great shot. I also love your dirty window one. Mine are often like that, I hate to admit.
Heh. He's a dandy isn't he? Got a 'tude too, from the look of him.
I think the crane might just be my favorite bird. I think it is beautiful. And this is a great shot!
