A Species First - White Faced Ibis

[TheNevadanStig]

Really a brilliantly colored bird if you get them in the light right. Which I just missed. Similar to the way a blackbird or grackle gets that shimmer in the light. This was the first time I have seen any.

Very nice. You are right, they have amazing colors. I have not seen the white mask like that around here.

Nice shots.
It's always great to get a shot of something never seen before.

Cool bird, never seen one before. Nice catch the last one.

I dunno about that, you got some excellent light bouncing off a couple of those and showing the almost metallic colouring, I can see it Looked at the larger versions on flickr, very nice work and shots. Beautiful species of IBIS and you know what, they almost look like velvet in some of that feathering, nice shots to bring that out.

All the best Jason and great to see.
