White Ibis in Motion- HFF! - a photo on Flickriver

            Some of the most interesting birds here in the Sunshine State are White Ibises. They cluck like chickens, honk like geese, and seem very awkward and ungainly, that is, until they take to the air! In flight, they are among the most elegant and graceful birds you'll ever see! 

These amusing looking animals, looking like egrets with broken beaks, are brown in their juvenile state. As adults, they are all white, except for the tiny bit of black that fringes their wings but can only be seen in flight. 

This blue eyed beauty was seen in Magnolia Park, which is one of the smallest of the parks in my area, but always provides things of interest. With its small pond, the water birds are drawn there. Ibises are frequent visitors, and it's not unusual to see a half dozen or more of them together. Unlike egrets, Ibises tend to stay with others of their kind, so you rarely see just one. This one's family had all hit the trees when I started clicking away!
