Field Notes

Description:

I have not many information about these birds. They were spotted walking on a road in a group of five. They walk in an unique and elegant way, sometimes lifting their heads to look around. They were quite confident, approaching me so close, till they decided to fly away. They were really silent, didn`t amke a single noise while I was around.

Habitat:

The road I found them is an open area close to Tropical Forests.
