White-faced Ibis (Img# 100703_1006951)

This is another image from the very productive local marsh.  Having never seen a white-faced ibis (Plegadis chihi) before, I was ecstatic to have the opportunity to photograph them at close range.  Though superficially a drab bird, there is a wonderful, understated iridescence in the wing feathers.  Be sure to click on the image for a larger version.
