Description
The American white ibis is one of 28 species of Ibis - a group of long-legged wading birds. There are also 2 extinct species. They all have long, down curved bills, and usually feed in large groups, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. Most species nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. They average 25 inches (64 cm) long with a wing span of 38 inches (97 cm). In our area they spend hours poking into our lawn coming up with worms and grubs. Some info from Wikipedia and my bird books.

What a beautiful and healthy-looking bird; I guess the grubs and worms must have enough nutrients to keep them going. Fantastic shot!
beautiful bird, beautiful capture
stunning
Beautiful big bird, great capture Dana.
Great capture Dana. Looks like he/she is posing for you!
Absolutely fascinating creature. I've always liked to think of the ibis as a bird special to ancient Egypt. Thoth, one of the ancient Egyptian gods, had the head of an ibis. I still think you should do a book on natural history, illustrated with your wonderful photos. :)
Thank you for your continued support KT!
Beautiful bird and shot!!!!!
Fabulous capture, love it!
