Description

This is a White Ibis and they are very common in South Florida. I have watched flocks of 40 to 50 of them, move across our lawn, using their curved beaks, to find and eat grubs and worms. Occasionally they will catch a gecko but this morning, I watched them fish along the shoreline of a marsh. They are about 25 inches (64cm) long with a wingspan of 38 inches (97cm). Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments and favs. Dana

Oh he is a beauty with such sexy blue eyes Dana! LOL... Excellent capture my friend! We have some of the black and white ibis over here! In the Woodlands area where my office is we have one with a broken wing who always hangs around our canteen area. I call him Scruffy - as he always looks so unkept!!

The white ibis was one of the birds I enjoyed most when I visited my folks in Florida. They were everywhere. Love how you got the beak so clear in this shot.

What a cool shot of this bird; we don't have them here! Our most exotic bird seems to be the elusive blue heron...

Ultra sharp, detailed, and with superb lighting effects in this shot of the magnificent Ibis, sacred bird of the Nile, Dana! I saw a few of these at the Los Angeles Zoo, but they were too far back in their cages to photograph.
