A young Victoria's riflebird practices a mating display he'll need when he's older and has undergone a color transformation: Adult males are velvety black with a bright blue-green crown. This juvenile was photographed in Daintree Rainforest in Queensland, one of the last strongholds of ancient Australian rain forests.
