Description
Juvenile White Ibis
Juvenile White Ibis, is a funny bird with amazing facial expressions, in my opinion. Captured at Sebastian Inlet pier.
Juveniles (fall through winter) are brown above and white below with a streaky brown neck. The legs and bill of juveniles are orange-pink. Immatures (first summer birds) are splotchy brown and white above as they molt into adult plumage.
The White Ibis lives year round in Florida and found throughout the state.
The American White Ibis is a funny looking bird with its red bill and legs, to light blue eyes. Often found in the grass areas digging for insects, and well as fishing for prey along the shoreline. They can be found from coastal North Carolina down to Florida and the Gulf Coast states. The American white ibis can be found throughout the enter state of Florida.
Here an American white ibis is waiting for a handout from the fisherman or looking for small fish as the tide goes out in the break pools. Sebastian Inlet is a state park open twenty-four hours a had to fisherman, beach goers, or a photographer like me. The abundance of wildlife here is amazing, but remember to bring bug repellent, because the noseeums are killers here as well.
