My First Glossy Ibis! I Was So Excited!

Short of slogging into Snake and Alligator territory, this was just as close as I could get to this guy without a better lens, and I didn't care because I had never seen one in real life. He was gorgeous, more gorgeous than I could capture on this day, but I think you can still get a pretty good idea of his minky burgundy brown head and irridescent wings. This was a spiritual moment, for a Bird Watcher like me! Thanks for viewing! =o)
