Wildlife Photo: Glossy Ibis in Kin Town, Okinawa, Japan

Good Fortune Helped Capture These Bird Photos Today

 

 

Yesterday, I got a message, telling me they were here.

Searching "Ibis" gave me some visual clue, as to what I'd be looking for.

The first Ibis photo that popped-up, sent me on my way with the camera.

After a few hours of circling the wetlands, I was about to give up.

It's a good thing, Shawn Miller came along  with his truck.

He knew right where they were feeding.

And, had a good chuckle, when I told him I was looking for white birds !

These characters are multicolored.

So, guaranteed, I'll be going back to shoot them, on the next sunny day.

Plegadis faicinellus is their scientific name.
