White Ibis Snowy Egret Perched Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge KnottsIslandNC 001
A group of white ibises wade gracefully through the shallow waters of an ocean bay inlet, their long, curved beaks probing the mud for hidden prey. The early winter sun casts a soft, golden glow over the scene, illuminating the feathers of the birds as they move with slow, deliberate steps. Ripples in the water reflect the clear blue sky, while the gentle breeze rustles the grasses along the shore. Their bright white plumage stands out against the tranquil, cool colors of the winter landscape, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere
