SLRL2152S-

Here is a picture of a Glossy Ibis. They are thought to have originated in Africa in the 19th Century and spread northward via the Caribbean.

Once an uncommon bird in its U.S. range, it steadily increases in numbers and span and is commonly seen on our shoreline.

Unlike herons, ibises fly with their necks stretched out. As always, thank you for your feedback. I photograph everything in Southeastern CT.
