My jaw dropped when this guy landed right in front of me today.

Cool find. Where did you find this bird, Florida? It looks a bit pale for a scarlet ibis, right? I would probably remove the clipped bird on the right and if he would have given you a head turn it would have been even better. Thanks for sharing and please post the techs.

Hi Axel, Yes,, took this picture today, I believe this is a hybrid bird Scarlet x White ibis so the result is a pink Ibis. I apologize i forgot to post the techs. will do it when i get home later.
BTW I left the white bird just so you could see the color variation.

Interesting bird. Axel's critique covered my observations. A bit of a head turn would have made this a stronger image. Good exposure and sharp. Thanks for sharing

Hi Phil,
Thank you for the comments. I know the image has a lot of room for improvements, the reason I posted and maybe i should have posted on a different forum, was to share a picture of a bird that i did not know existed until this morning.
Thank you,
Adams
