This is wonderful. We have Ibis here also, but all or mostly white.
I love the one with its beak open - really adds character to the photo.

This black and white photo makes a strong impression, Ina. Where was the Ibis a sacred bird? In Egypt? I cannot remember ...

Wow awesome shot, great capture. How weird is this, I shot a flock of these birds today near home, and was going to send a couple of shots to my mom, to identify what kind of birds they are. Thanks for the shortcut :)

beautiful (nice processing) - I especially like the ibis posing with its beak open.
the philosophical reflection is so true.

Magnificent! I already feel like being in the tropics when I'm watching a few herons in my city, but to have these ibises in the park must be absolutely great!

@MadScientist: Absolutely! They are so amazing and to have them around you is very special!

Incredible and beautiful capture. Wonderful framing and composition. The phrase is very true, gives one thought.

This has more than a touch of Japanese ink drawings about it . . it must be the pale background. Excellent image.
