Coming in to roost for the evening, this American White Ibis in full breeding plumage crept up to the highest perch in the tree. The red lores and legs of the bird are amazing to see, adding bright colors to an interesting bird. Taken in Florida, a great place to photograph and see these beautiful wading birds.
