Glossy Ibis

Found this guy this morning in Bayou Sauvage. Conditions were cloudy, and the angle of light didn't cooperate, but we don't often get many Glossies around here. 66% crop of original. Larger image included.

Great looking bird - good low angle, relatively distraction free and the light is diffused nicely

Well made. Good angle and nice detail. Almost a high key shot with the diffuse reflection off the water. I think the clouds helped on this one.

The high key water really makes thiis bird stand out. Nice details on the ibis, too. Sharon
