ibis in the morning

While Glossy Ibis are native to North America and found here on Delmarva and along the Atlantic coast somehow photographing them always reminds me of being in Africa where I first saw them. I’m always happy to get close to these interesting birds especially if there is some direct light illuminating their dark feathers which become almost iridescent. Without direct light they can appear as dark as the wetlands mud and shallow water where they like to feed for fish and other water creatures.

Another great title for another great photo. (I grew up close enough to NY to have heard Imus in the Morning for a LONG time….so I chuckled the minute I read this title!)
