Description
Behold the majestic White Ibis, frolicking in the Pinckney National Wildlife Preserve near Hilton Head, South Carolina. These elegant creatures love to gather in groups in shallow wetlands and estuaries throughout the southeastern United States. With each step, their bright red legs gracefully glide through the water, while their curved red bill probes the muddy surface below. As adults, these stunning wading birds are a sight to behold, with their all-white plumage and black wingtips. But don't be fooled by their beauty, as young birds sport a brown upper body and white underbelly. These social birds nest in colonies, perched high in trees and shrubs along the water's edge, changing locations nearly every year. So, if you're lucky enough to spot these feathered friends, take a moment to appreciate their beauty and playful nature."
