Ruffled Ibis

I captured this Ibis at the Dallas rookery. When the ibis fluffed out all his feathers, it made him look a bit odd. Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice moment of capture Jerry. I will have to visit the rookery soon. How long is this species hanging around?

Rick,

This image was from last year. The birds start showing up in April if my memory serves me correctly.

I like the fluffed out appearance and the great breeding plumage, Jerry. I don't know how much cloning you do, but I'd be tempted to remove some of the twigs, particularly the one that touches the beak.
