Juvenile White Ibis

[Marina Scarr]

Learned something new this summer about the White Ibis. During their juvenile stage, their eye and beak colors may vary. This was the first time I had seem one with such a dark beak and without blue eyes. I wasn't even sure it was a White Ibis until I did a bit of research.

Great pose and I love the water! I would crop a bit from top (about half) for my taste, but otherwise it is very, very good! Love the raise foot and HA! Well done Marina.

Nicew walking pose, light exposure and detail, colors looks great too. A lower angle might have given you an even better BG IMO.
Congratul;ations!

Hi Marina, Thankyou for sharing your research with us. I never knew that either. I like the pose and the exposure looks good. The water colors is very nice.
