Picture Stories #255 - Stone Bird
I encountered a very interesting sight during a visit to a botanical garden, and while I couldn't really identity what bird it was meant to be, nonetheless the artwork was unique and beautiful. Pictured below is the first of 3 different stone sculptures that is supposed to represent a bird.
I couldn't even try and begin to guess what this bird could be given my less knowledge about birds in general, but I do like the way it's been carved and shaped beautifully in stone.
Do you have a guess what bird this could be - a 100% upvote for the best guess with explanation!

Ok, the sculpture seems to represent a bird "glued" to its mirror image, so the bird is most likely skimming the lake, with its beak partially submerged and tips of the wings touching the water. It is not a kingfisher because they catch fish by diving, not some kind of egret either because they hunt from stationary position. Its beak does not resemble that of a pelican, although the hunting technique seems similar. My vote goes to the bird called, well, skimmer :o)
interesting pick and great explanation! this bird is new to me :D
