Terrific! Such a primitive loking bird. Nice details and exposure.

Beautiful flight shot, Angela. Excellent detail and the eye really stands out.

Doesn't get much better than this!
Perfect exposure, great flight pose, great detail and colours, and nice BG.
I love ibis - such goofy-looking birds!

Once again I find myself in awe of your work Angela, the exposure you have on the neck, head, eye, and bill is all anyone could hope for and more. You are a real inspiration to me, thank you so much :^)

Love this Angela!! Great exposure, colors, detail and I also like the wing position. The white cloudy BG really helps to make this pop off the page as well. BTW - I finally saw my first Ibis in Colorado 2 weeks ago and hope to get close enough to one to photograph.

Gotta love those juvi White Ibises. Fine image and very nice detail, Angela. Hope you get caught up on the rain. My birding areas are also dry as a bone in MS & LA.

An excellent flight shot, Angela, absolutely first rate. Great management of the whites and a difficult sky.
