(Someone had to correct me on this, I had put it down as an ibis due to them living with the ibis…es…and I wasn’t thinking enough. Egret! Probably snowy! :))

Kitsnaps: Egret, Possibly Snowy

Gorgeous picture, and I really love the bokeh in the background.
However.... I think this is a heron or egret, not an Ibis... The Ibis has a decurved beak, and the beak is also light colored or two-toned.
Based on the dark beak and light feet, I think this is a Snowy Egret ("Snowy is showy!")
(Years of birdwatching with my mom--pretty sure I learned by osmosis!)

oh, you're right, it's an egret, they just live with the ibis...es...Ibisi? :) *fixes*
Hee. I couldn't decide what the plural of Ibis was, so I reworded the sentence.

I don't care what it is called--it's just gorgeous!
