Birds that live and feed in swamps shouldn’t be white. Many are, but logic says not a great idea.
However, white birds are rarely ever dirty. Think of Great Egrets, sparkling white and clean… all the time.
Ibis, well not so much. This one is pretty clean for an Ibis. Still Ibis love mud.
Ted, this is a bird I can see only on your photographs and I am always fascinated by it. A beautiful elegant bird! Great series!
Thank you. Bright blue eyes are what I love about them. 😃
