Ibis ID
Hey I caught another Ibis, this one is different and could be the Glossy Ibis. Any ideas, It has no white markings, would it have changed in a week and a half. I think it wierd that never having seen any I would have seen two this Spring and possibly both different. Sorry for the quality was pouring rain and I had to stop on wrong side of the road to get the shot as it was ( only a couple unhappy people). Taken within a mile of other but had not seen any thing of an Ibis for week and half and I been looking.
E510 Sigma 50-500 @ 1000mm eq f8 1/320 ISO 800 Cropped, selected bird and sharpened.

"Kendall's Wetland" is really producing the birds! No help with an ID, but another good shot with good details and contrast from the BG. Well done.

It is a glossy ibis without much gloss (a result of the weather). Nice catch!

Very nice pose...you're really coming up with some great shots of birds I've never seen in the wild.
