Ibis at sunset

Gallery: AvianPosted November 24, 2008453 views16 comments

Got this one 20 minutes before sunset, Ibis never seem to stop feeding this one was getting tiny fish about one every couple of minutes. I must have 200 images of these to wade though.
I've really enjoyed my stay at Marco island Florida but we move inland today to open prairie and farmland.

Thanks again for looking

Hope I'm not boring you with my holiday snaps.

Beautiful silhouette Colin. The oof circles add to the esthetics tremendously. The water draining from the bill adds realism to the dark outline.

Certainly not this one, Colin. Great silhouette image. The water draining from the beak is a nice touch.

Very nice silhouette and strong colors. Others commented that they like the OOF circles. For me they detract from the subject.

I like the silhouette and love the colors here Colin. The water coming off the bill is perfect for the image. Personally, I'm not fond of the OOF elipses though.
