Came upon a small bunch of Glossy Ibis's feeding in the wetlands around Delry Beach FL. It is hit and miss finding Glossy Ibis's in the places that I go, but it was a good day finding them.

That second to last group shot is my pick, I hardly ever get to see them as singles, never mind a whole congregation of them like that. Nice work!

Love the colors on these! I had the chance to shoot one with far less color and, even using all of the ID sites/factors that I've found, can't figure out if it's white-faced or glossy.

Mmeece, Glad you enjoyed them. As far as I know, the most common is the white Ibis but young ones can have a mottled gray, brown and white appearance, the all brown ones are the Glossy Ibis's.
