yes these were at my local zoo. I just never noticed them before and there was not any signs or zoo people around to ask.

That's odd they are related to waterfowl yet don't have a flat bill

Jane, your shot of this screamer is wonderful. They are also known as Crested Screamers. It's a very strange member of the order Anseriformes, which includes ducks, geese and swans. These interesting birds are found in South America. To find out more about them check out the link I've included under species suggestions.
