This White Ibis watched me from his perch atop a Bald Cypress tree. I slowly ascended the steps of the observation tower, and took this picture when I reached the top. It was then that the ibis had enough and flew off.
Human pollution has affected the behavior of the American white ibis via an increase in the concentrations of methylmercury, which is released into the environment from untreated waste. Exposure to methylmercury alters the hormone levels of American white ibis, affecting their mating and nesting behavior and leading to lower reproduction rates.

Years ago, the first bird I saw in Florida was a White Ibis. They must be one of the most common birds in Florida, found almost everywhere that water is found. But back then, it was exciting to see this "big white bird with the strange curved bill". Well, common or not, it's still a pleasure for me to photograph them, and their dark-brown juveniles.
Seen at Ding Darling NWR, in the bright early morning sunlight.
