My previous post was a American White Ibis as it appears most of the year. This post is when it is breeding colors in April and March. The tip of the bill blackens, the gular sac enlarges and the face turns cherry red. Image captured at Lake Morton in Lakeland, Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
