Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus Himantopus)

I opened the gift. I'm honestly surprised; it's really thoughtful--a sweater with a big cartoon owl in the center. It's one of those 'ugly Christmas sweater' style sweaters with a bunch of little birds lining the top and bottom. It's actually really cute. To my friend who gave me this, if you read this, thank you. I only wish I had thought to get you a gift; I'll make it up to you, I promise.

The kalij pheasant (Lophura leucomelanos) is a pheasant found in forests and thickets, especially in the Himalayan foothills, from Pakistan to western Thailand. Males are rather variable depending on the subspecies involved, but all have an at least partially glossy bluish-black plumage, while females are overall brownish. Both sexes have a bare red face and greyish legs…Wikipedia. Photos: jpc.raleigh, John Matthews,Dan Dzurisin.
