#BirdOfTheDay theme is #feathers Here a Glossy Ibis shows off the intricacies of its colors. #birds #glossyibis #ibis #colors #easteregg
A large black bird with a green sheen sits in the crook of a knobbly tree. Its head is looking up and to the side. You can see its thin hooked beak and just a glimpse of red throat pouch.
A brown duck is sleeping in tall dried grass. It has its neck up and its head tucked. Its closed eye has a white ring a red bill. The feathers are fluffed.
Layers of burnished iridescent feathers cover the back of a bird. They are red and copper and gold.
Spiky slightly dirty feathers hang from the long neck of a heron. Smoother blue and gray feathers are visible on the body of the bird.

This is in the delta of the Ebro in #Spain. See my one-minute-video: www.petersprinciple.nl/set

The "oil slick" plumage of the Glossy Ibis is nature’s own high-definition filter. 🪶✨ Captured this local beauty showing off those iridescent greens and bronzes. Florida’s wetlands never miss.

A copper-colored bird sits among a field of water hyacinths. It has a long neck and a long, narrow curved beak. Its feathers are iridescent, showing hues of orange, olive, and brown.
The same bird, but in close up as it plunges the curved beak into the plant life and the water below it. The glossy body feathers give way to more matte brown and white feathers on its neck and head. It has a white eye ring.
@alan678.bsky.social has set a theme of #PerfectLighting for #BirdOfTheDay. This last week I came across this #GlossyIbis who looked like its feathers were made of fire. Glossy, indeed. #Birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

A dark silhouette of an ibis perched on a weathered tree branch, set against a vibrant, glowing golden sunset. The bird is facing left, highlighting its distinctive long, downward-curved beak. The background is a soft, brilliant yellow and orange sky, with the dark, out-of-focus shapes of foliage framing the bottom of the composition.
The silhuette of the ibis is one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the bird world. I just love silhouettes .

@alan678.bsky.social chose today's #BirdOfTheDay theme as #BirdsInTheirElement , birds in their natural environment. Here's a head shot of a Glossy Ibis, in its wetland element. I like this pic as it showcases the size of the feet and the length of the bill. #Birds #WetlandBirds #GlossyIbis

The rail was technically my 3000th bird I had seen till eBird updated the list. But I was so excited to see it that I couldn't stop shaking to get a decent photo.

A very special end to a lovely holiday as a #glossyibis flew straight past me at #NWT #Cley Marshes reserve whilst I saw in the middle of the three central hides. It came in low from the west and was heading SE towards Pat's Pool when it was lost from view. #Norfolkbirding

3 Glossy Ibis visiting our local reserve. Not a common visitor to these parts but this summer/autumn has been a bit different. They really like the water snails.

🌍🌏🌎 Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) The Glossy Ibis is a medium-sized wading bird with a long, decurved bill and glossy feathers. From a distance, it appears dark, but in good light, its plumage shimmers with iridescent green, purple, and bronze. It has a widespread distribution, found in warm regions across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, favoring wetlands like marshes, swamps, and flooded fields. This is a highly social species that forages in flocks, often probing mud and shallow water for invertebrates. No subspecies are recognised. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: The tip of the Glossy Ibis's bill has special touch sensors that allow it to feel for prey like insects and crustaceans buried in the mud. 📷: Photo by BarbeeAnne via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/glossy-ibis-bird-wading-ornithology-2680553/ YCJU
