Hoatzins in the dawn light

Hoatzins in the dawn light by Jim Scarff.
Trying to restore some dignity here to these wonderful birds! It's a task, trying to restore dignity to these clowns that seem to spend their life hanging out, making strange grunts and calls, and accidentally knocking each other off branches.

Wow...Jim....at first I thought it wasn't real but now I'm on the page and I find my self saying wow...I've never seen this type of bird. They look prehistoric! Are they in the family as birds of pray?
