Here’s a favourite #juvenilebird for today’s #BirdOfTheDay prompt.

This immature #WhiteIbis is taking in lovely late afternoon sun and patiently waiting for me to be done with its #portrait

A White Ibis, which has a distinctive down-curved red-orange bill and legs, is walking in some grass along the bank of the lake.

"Two birds stand quietly in a shallow pool of water, their reflections stretching beneath them like ghostly twins. On the left, a juvenile white ibis leans forward slightly, its long, curved beak arcing downward like a question mark carved from shadow. Its plumage is dark—smoky brown with hints of charcoal—still in transition from youth to the snowy white of adulthood. Its posture is tentative, almost reverent, as if testing the water’s memory.

To the right, a great egret stands tall and composed, its body a clean sweep of white, like a brushstroke of light against the muted ripples. Its neck curves in a gentle S, and its pointed beak aims forward with quiet precision. Slender legs disappear into the water, anchoring it like a reed in stillness.

The water itself is calm, with soft ripples that catch the light—suggesting either the hush of morning or the golden sigh of late afternoon. The birds are framed by this tranquil mirror, their contrast in color and posture creating a quiet tension, like two verses of a poem written in different inks. In the bottom right corner, the image bears the watermark “Swede’s Photographs,” a subtle signature of the witness behind the lens." - Microsoft Copilot

Happy #Stunday, everyone!

Here’s a stunning ‘boudoir’ shot from the archive of a gorgeous pair of #WhiteIbis “lovers” (I imagine). The female (I imagine) is the focus, with her beau (again, I imagine) is romantically softened in the background

Isn’t love grand?

#birds
#birding
#marshlife
#ibis

Two White Ibises are cropped from a larger group (gaggle?). The ibises in the foreground is floofed a bit and looks quite romantic (to me). The rear ibis is in softer (Ingrid Bergman in ‘Casablanca’) focus, but has a more restrained posture.

Needless to say, I have wildly over-anthropomorphized what was really going on in this photo.

Thanks for bearing with me!

Scratch that. A White Ibis takes care of an itch while perched on a boardwalk railing in the Peace River Botanical & Sculpture Gardens.

They call them bin chickens, but I love them. Maybe because they are the underdog.

A #whiteibis, #littleblueheron and a #eurasianwhimbrel. I saw these birds on the #mangroveboattour in Manuel Antonio. I mentioned this tour before, and if you're a birder, it's a must see. The variety is amazing, and you can get really close to the animals.

Looks like this snowy egret's splashing antics caused the white ibis youths to snub it. But it wasn't all just for show! Take another look at its beak – it snagged a tiny, translucent crustacean in the process!

After seeing so many White Ibises focused on probing the lawns and fields, catching this one soaring over the water felt like a special treat! ✨ And how cool are those sharp black wing tips?
