I captured this image at Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area in Kenansville, Florida. I was at the end of Road 16 where the parking area is to walk to the lookout tower on the shore of Lake Jackson. The bird was perched on a metal railing, part of a water control facility next to the parking area. I have always seen these birds as black, never did I imagine the colors in the feathers. Only on processing the image did I see the greens, purples etc. much like the colors on a Glossy Ibis. I now have a different appreciation for Black Vultures. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
