This year looks to belong to the White Ibis. They are common, and seeing them is not unusual, except the numbers of them.
At first I assumed a larger flock (these captured here) was passing through the swamps.
However, a few weeks ago we watched huge flocks out in the larger marshes. I have read there are less Ibis in Florida, which always has gazillions. Perhaps the past storms have changed the habitat somewhat.

Such incredible looking birds. Nice shots!
The ibis is incredible in this perched position! I am not sure if I have ever seen this kind of photo perspective, Ted. Great captures! Smiles, Robin
Thanks so much. I usually don’t go underneath them for photographs, might end badly for me 😂😂😂
