I photographed this bird this summer during a trip to Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas. If anyone has any idea what it is, I'd love to know. I imagine it is some sort of tropical bird. I Googled birds with red eyes and some other key words that I thought might identify it but was unsuccessful. I think he's a unique specimen.

He isn't a kukaburra is he? I'm probably way off...will look him up and see if there's a resemblance.
I love his rockin' hairdo :)
might be a hoatzin (aka stinkbird). :)
Fantastic shot! I guess TexWisGirl is right, I've seen these birds in the Amazon. All the best for 2013.
Well I finally got in here.
I clicked on your site three times and my computer frozed. Not on anyones page. Just letting you know.
So I did tell one gal gals to be aware.
Looks like your site is okay now. I hope so.
Your bird is amazing. I knew Tex would know the name.
If I am undecide she will notice it and correct me to my rescue.
Have a good day.
Kookaburra sounds right, but I didn't google it. He is a beautiful bird and well captured.
Unusual, and so very beautiful!!!
Wonderful photograph, Kathy.
Really nice capture. I've never seen a bird like this guy before.
Very quirky guy!
Hmmmm.....Hoatzin it may be. Nice shot of it. Was it in the wild?
