Thanks, the Ibis only seems to pass through and I have only seen them around Denver one time. Luckily I was able to get a few photos and I agree that the colors on these guys are awesome.
Thanks, it was a lucky capture. THese Ibis had been roosting on a fly-over and once they all woke up and fed for a bit left the area and I have not seen them back on that pond again.
That is gorgeous! And the glossy plumage is always a good reason to over-expose a couple of clicks. Such a nice composure for a beautiful subject, Mike. Well done.
HI, we only see these guys on fall and spring migration as they stop by for a short while in some of the places we like to go birding. The feathers do look wonderful on a sunny day and hope you get to experience seeing these guys some day.
Thanks LB, The Ibis is sure a wonderful bird t look at and we got luck that they decided to rest where we were walking that morning. Hope your week is off to a great start.

Great capture! How did you get the background to be so white?

Thanks, the sky was just really grey-white that day and it reflected in the water to give a very white-neutral background.
