  1. The Egret and the Apprentice

    I took this photo in Georgia a few years back. It captures a juvenile white ibis (Eudocimus albus) and a great egret (Ardea alba) feeding together in a shallow pond.

  3. White Ibises on the Wing

    A few days ago, while Charlie and I were out exploring, I spotted two white ibises (Eudocimus albus) soaring overhead. At first glance, I assumed they were egrets, but the photo later revealed my mistake. In terms of elegance and intrigue, I’d say ibises have a slight edge in the exotic category.

  5. Young Ibis and Its Rippling World

    This juvenile white ibis was one of two I spotted in Georgia—perhaps a bit outside their usual range, or just within it. I’ve returned twice since capturing this image yet haven't seen an ibis again—a curious absence.

  7. Waters of Dawn

    This image was captured about three years ago at a small, secluded pond on the outskirts of Albany, Georgia, hidden away between hotels. The original scene featured two birds: this immature white ibis (Eudocimus albus) and a great egret. However, in my mind's eye, I envisioned the ibis and the water isolated, just as they appear here.

  9. Young Ibises in Shallow Waters

    Two years back, I stumbled upon a pair of juvenile white ibises (Eudocimus albus) at a hidden gem of a pond in Albany, Georgia. Unlike their elegant snowy-white adult counterparts, these young ibises were still in their first-year plumage, which doesn’t turn snowy white until their second year. It was fascinating to watch them amidst the serene waters, showcasing nature's beauty in the making.

    "White Ibises are born with brown and white streaks, and as they grow, they gradually develop their adult plumage. Typically, White Ibises start to turn white by the time they are about 9-10 weeks old, although the exact timing can vary. They achieve their striking all-white adult plumage, accented with black-tipped wings, by around 1 year of age." - Copilot

  11. Curved Beak at Dawn

    I saw this juvenile white ibis (Eudocimus albus) a couple of years ago in Albany, Georgia.

    "White Ibises gather in groups in shallow wetlands and estuaries in the southeastern United States. At each step, their bright red legs move through the water and their curved red bill probes the muddy surface below. As adults, these striking wading birds are all white save for their black wingtips, but watch out for young birds that are brown above and white below. White Ibises nest in colonies in trees and shrubs along the water's edge, changing locations nearly every year" - allaboutbirds.org

  13. White Ibis

    The Ocean City Welcome & Information Center is located on a salt marsh island surrounded by trees and shrubs along the Route 52 Causeway, just off the Garden State Parkway at Exit 30 southbound, on the Stainton Memorial Causeway (better known as the Ninth Street Bridge). The parking area offers elevated views of an astonishing assortment of beautiful birds so near that one does not need binoculars to find them. The Welcome Center offers free pamphlets that will help novices identify what [...]

  14. Circle Back

    Yesterday afternoon, I was sitting outside with my wife in front of her quilting shop, when I noticed a large bird flying over. I was caught, once again, without a camera. But wait! The bird turned and circled back. I ran to the backdoor, almost tripping over Charlie, and fetched my camera. The bird was still around when I got back. It is a white ibis (Eudocimus albus) and it circled around a few times, perhaps to get its bearings then continued on.

    You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

  16. White Ibis and its Reflection

    I took this photo in Georgia 2022. It's a young white ibis (Eudocimus albus). It was late and getting dark, but I like the serenity of the picture.

  17. Five White Ibis seeking shade along the riverbank. Makes me smile when I walk by, and they remain unperturbed.

  18. White Ibis (Eudocimus albus)

    These juvenile white ibises flew over this morning while Ben and Charlie took me for a walk. They circled around a couple times as if getting their bearings.

    "White Ibises occur in many types of wetlands including swamps, mangroves, flooded pastures, freshwater marshes, and shallow ponds. They forage most often in wet areas with less than 8 inches of water and sparse, short vegetation, but they also forage on lawns and in parks, especially in southern Florida where they are now accustomed to humans. They nest in colonies in trees and shrubs near fresh, brackish, or salt water. During the nesting season, they forage more frequently in freshwater wetlands because nestlings cannot safely consume large amounts of salt. During the nonbreeding season, they use coastal wetlands more frequently." - allaboutbirds.org
