White Ibis

Another relatively common bird, particularly around the parks and lakes at Disney World, is the White Ibis. They were particularly accustomed to humans and allowed a very close approach, often within the minimum focus distance of my lens. I love their pink legs and bill and comical looks (look closely and their faces remind me a bit of turkeys). The following photos were taken at Epcot, Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.

They were particularly common around Animal Kingdom, in the trees alongside the rivers that run through the park.

And as it gets dark they congregate in large numbers to roost in the trees.
