Ibis Sunset (30)

Stayed out a whole day, fantastic sunsets as of late in Florida and was disappointed as it was so dark didn't think any of my nature shots "took" that evening. Then to my delight found this silhouette and share with you all. This bird is called an IBIS it is white and has an orange beak. Submitted him as "Ibis Drool" here on Trek during a drinking in moment during the day if you would like to see;

Here is another one, had the flash on and these birds were coming in to roost. So hard to focus and track them coming in!

Found the flash didn't help as bird was so far away; so instead waited for the sun to go down a little bit more and just cropped a silhouette!
