White-winged Chough.

We saw a family of White-winged Chough a while ago. We don't see many around our area. These ones were beside the road at Widgee west of Gympie. Although they look similar to Crows and Currawongs in appearance, they belong to a different family, the only other member being the Apostlebird. They are mud nest builders.

Not sure what is wrong with the one on the right, but it looks like it has been attacked and has an injury to it's head.
