Reverse Superhero - Through the week, I fight credit card fraud as the Director of Compliance for an international company but on the weekends, I'm a mild-mannered nature and portrait photographer. Music historian, published poet, singer/songwriter, etc.
You popped up in my feed and since I like guessing games...

1. I was going to guess black vulture but since feathers are present, I don't think that's correct.
2. Cassowary
3. It's giving me crowned pigeon vibes.
4. Black-crowned night heron

Am I close?

We shared some photos. I showed her my house. She showed me her daughters. Then, I suggested that she call me so we could talk properly. I didn't want our conversation to end on a discussion of my colon.
