I am a Plain Chachalaca
I'm like a chicken that hangs out in trees 
Galliformes usually live on the ground, but -
Me and my babies live in thetreetops with ease. 

(In case you are wondering, no, you won't see these in Florida. The only place you will find them in the US is southernmost part of Texas, which is where my sweetheart and guest photographer, David Simpson, took this picture.)

Location: Edinburg Scenic Wetlands, TX
