I am linking up my post with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
I decided to post on the various Ibis... a wading bird I have seen over the years. The photos are from my archives but I am pretty sure I have never shown them together so you can see the differences in the Ibis. Thanks to Wikipedia, I was amazed at just how many Ibis there really are around the world. 28 species and 2 are extinct.
During my trip to Panama I was able to see a group of White Ibis on the shores of the Panama Canal.

Not the best photo but we were on the boat going thru the canal. They are easy to id with their long red bills, red legs and white bodies.

The Glossy Ibis is more commonly seen here on the East Coast in the summer months. This shot above was taken at the Edwin Forsythe NWR.

More of the Glossy Ibis seen at the wildlife refuge in New Jersey.
Above the White-faced Ibis has a white border next to the red facial skin and they have red eyes. Adults also show reddish legs. This White-faced Ibis was seen at the Bear Lake NWR in Idaho. They look very similar to the Glossy Ibis
After checking out Wikipedia's Ibis photos, I would really love to see the Scarlet Ibis, what a beautiful bird. The Scarlet Ibis can be seen in South America and the Caribbean. I hope you enjoyed my wild bird post.

Beautiful pictures of Glossy Ibis.. Regards
These are such beautiful birds, Eileen. I see Little Egret here ... but would particularly like to see a Glossy Ibis!
neat. enjoy the bird in the grass. all those cool colors. i wish i had purplish-pink colored legs. awesome!! birds really get to show off, don't they?!? ha. ha!!
Great photos and very interesting about the Ibis. We have another two out here in Australia that you didn't mention - the Australian White Ibis and the Straw-necked Ibis.
Great captures! I had no idea there were so any kinds.
Who knew there were so many! I especially love that last shot! Great work!
Great shots of the different wading birds. They are such fun to watch and you captured these well.
Cool shots of the Ibis's Eileen! I especially like the White-faced Ibis shot!
I love these three Ibises, I saw the Glossy in Florida.
It's great seeing the 3 different Ibis's in one post... They are all gorgeous... Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy
Wonderful Eileen! A great tutorial. I remember seeing the white-faced for the first time when we were in Port Arnasas Texas...I was in a birding group and I kept thinking I was looking at the wrong bird when the leader said it's name. It didn't seem like a white-faced anything to me!!!
We have the white ones here in great numbers (I think they're just the same as ones you picture from Panama.).
Thanks!!
Wow those are awesome! Cook beaks on those birds.
Great captures! The birds are beautiful.

I love the Glossy Isis, you take a brilliant picture.
Love the bills on the Ibis! So unique!
One u nas nie żyją na wolności, ale jak mam okazję to oglądam je w innych krajach. Są śliczne i bardzo lubię ich zakrzywione dzioby. Pozdrawiam.
One we do not live in the wild, but as I get a chance to watch them in other countries. They're beautiful and I really like their curved beaks. Yours.
Ibis really are beautiful birds - must be nice to watch.

A bird I actually know...and have seen at the same place! Cool.
Nice to see all of the different ones. I've only seen one white faced here. They are pretty rare.
They are all fantastic, Eileen!
I have never seen any of them, but I would like to do it!
Greetings Pia
Hallo Eileen!Beautiful pictures!!Great captures as always!Thank you for your kind comment on my blog!!Have a lovely week!!
Dimi..
I did see the Glossy Ibis in Morocco but not this close. Love those shots.
Such neat birds! Their beaks are so unique.
Love the pic of the four of them. They're actually quite colourful birds aren't they.
I've not seen any of these ibises, the white seems particularly unusual to me.
i love their curved. long bills!!
i have seen them at the cape may zoo only, never in the wild!!
i had no idea there were so many different species!!
The sheen on the feathers is amazing. Such colours. Well done.
Cheers from Cottage Country!
Beautiful birds!! I wonder if we have them in Louisiana? I certainly hope so. What a treat to photograph!
Love the white ibis. Great captures!
I have never seen so many ibis' in one place. I spotted just one at our local park last year.
Great shots!
These are such beautiful birds and how neat to be near enough to get these great images. the one in the center could be a painting, so pretty!
I am not familiar with this bird at all so it was nice to see some. You have taken some great birding trips... Michelle
Wonderful photos, Eileen! It's always a thrill for me to see these long-legged waders.
