While visiting Florida the White Ibis soon became my favorite bird … although the choice is difficult with so many species to choose from.  This showy bird with long bill and blue eyes is a common wetland species that feeds on crayfish,  frogs and aquatic insects.

One thing that I enjoy doing is building a portfolio of a single subject, whether a unique bird, mountain or beach.  I look for different settings, lighting conditions and backgrounds to build a collection of photos that reflect different moods, behavior etc. of the same subject… it’s fun.

It didn’t take long to build a nice collection of photos of the White Ibis.
