Description
I love the expression on this particular White Ibis' face. What striking birds, with their long curved bills, and white feathers! This one seemed to be taking a break while standing on one leg, perhaps resting a bit, when I got this shot of him or her standing near the wetlands.
From Cornell Labs: "White Ibises gather in groups in shallow wetlands and estuaries in the southeastern United States. At each step, their bright red legs move through the water and their curved red bill probes the muddy surface below. As adults, these striking wading birds are all white save for their black wingtips, but watch out for young birds that are brown above and white below. White Ibises nest in colonies in trees and shrubs along the water's edge, changing locations nearly every year."
