Oscar writes: This was taken at the same place as the Hoatzins and I was particularly pleased to get it as despite seeing these birds last time I was in Peru I couldn’t get close enough for any photos. They are similar size to Canada Geese, but bulkier, and look bizarre with the protruding structure from their heads which is actually a modified feather shaft that grows continuously and often breaks at the tip. Their call is also a bizarre whooping honking sound that carries great distances.
