Happy Thanksgiving everyone (a day early as I’ll be taking a quick break until Monday). This is a great curassow, or as they are locally known in Costa Rica — a jungle turkey. Photographed not far from Costa Rica’s capital of San José, at La Selva Biological Reserve. This is the male of the species. The females are more reddish in color and lack the yellow knob on the beak. They make up for it, however, with a much more ornamental crest.
