#66 - Take Pictures of 50 Birds - Glossy Ibis

I swore that this was just going to be a "black ibis"....but when I got home and checked my field guide, this guy is actually called a "glossy ibis"! In the picture in the field guide he's shown as purplish in the illustration. But it says in the description that the glossy ibis appears to be black until close view or until the sun hits it right. So sure enough, here we have a glossy ibis :) I'll attach a picture I got of a white ibis today too just because I liked the shot :p
