drum roll please. It’s an Ibis. I saw these same birds on UNC-PBS special on coastal Carolina. There is a bird refuge close by and on occasion a few wander by. They just called it “ibis” with no mention of “glossy ibis”. We also have white ibis. Watch for picture(s).

So, I think the winner is either a tie with Benjamin in LA and Linda OR no winner. :-/

I am afraid that this is not solved yet. It could be a stork, wood stork, or akin to the glossy ibis. But, look at the coloring. I can find nothing that looks like it in my books and web research.

I love…

I thought Glossy Ibis too, but I could not tell from these pictures if the feathers were indeed glossy, I’m sticking with wood stork.

Off to Atlanta for a week for work. Deep South. Deep Heat. Deep Humidity.

I submit glossy ibis. Please look at this site and listen to them calling.

Ben — I think that’s the Parsley branch from Iowa that we’ve never met. I heard my granpappy describing them as a bunch of high stepping, food free-loaders, and he said the women dressed fance with those feathery boa things — so it must be them. Give ‘em my regards — I don’t wanna come within 10 miles of ‘em. So my ID’n them is The Iowan Parsleys. —- am I first? K
