Ah, the Ne Ne bird! Bravo to you photographing and for identifying this bird for us. I used to spend a lot of time with Nenes, even been chased by them during many blissful mornings here at a waterfowl sanctuary in Connecticut which specialized in raising endangered species.. They were on the highly endangered species for quite a while, don’t know if they still are! They are very sociable birds, usually in flocks. They would roam around freely in the huge landscape where I photographed them. My Nene days are over but it was a pleasure to see them against your beautiful background!
