Anyone know what this is?

Shot this while at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park. This was in the same pen with some ducks and geese. Next time I go there, I'm going to get some more shots of this one, as I find this bird very interesting for some reason. Maybe it's the plumage on his head or its eyes. :dunno

    It's an African Crowned Crane. Very photogenic bird.

    Thanks for the quick reply! I think out of all the birds they have there, this one is my favorite.

    I'd love to see one of these in the wild one day. Handsome bird. The eyes are crystal blue and the crown is magnificent.
