During a hike through the rugged terrain of Kings Canyon, we encountered a striking scene. In the midst of a steep set of steps, a remarkable bird was perched, almost blending seamlessly with its orange-hued surroundings. The bird's natural camouflage was astonishing, a testament to nature's ability to adapt to its environment.One of the most intriguing features of this bird was the distinctive "mohawk" on its head, a unique and captivating characteristic that I had previously only observed in a few bird species in Australia.
