[ID: A photograph of a hamerkop standing on a paved road. The hamerkop is a medium sized bird that stands almost upright, on long dark, unfeathered legs. It has brown feathers, with its most distinct feature being the shape of its head, which sits atop a skinny neck, with the back of the head made up of feathers, and the long beak on the front forming a shape similar to the head of a hammer, with the beak where the crowbar end is.

Part of the road behind the bird has been photoedited, so that it is a solid color almost matching the rest of the road. End ID.]

Observation by baldcoot.

In the original photographs, which you can see by going to the observation above, there’s a dead lizard on the road, which I edited out so more people can enjoy the post.

iNaturalist is a free website where anyone can upload photographs and sound recordings of plants, animals, and mushrooms they find, not only to share with others, but to help scientists all over the globe collect data and keep track of the species!

It’s also a great way to learn about what wildlife is around you!

fun fact: Hamerkops are also called lightning birds, and they are associated with vampires!
