Nice image of this less loved bird Derek. I suspect that nice bright head makes it easier for it's mate to find it.

Great image! Featherless heads are more hygienic for an bird that digs into carcasses, and I have heard it helps with thermoregulation.

that actually sounds like a very good practical reason - thanks. Maybe it also helps to get the chicks.....

Nice portrait of an underappreciated bird... our highways would be littered with poor roadkill like armadillos without them, heh.
