Sacred Ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus)
The legend goes that in ancient Egypt they were worshiped as the god Thoth, Native to Africa, they now live is Australia as well, a few were kept here in the Metro-Zoo aviary prior to Hurricane Andrews, upon it's destruction during the storm they escaped, They are no longer penned or banded and have decided to cohabitate with the Marabou storks at the Zoo, For some reason they have done very well but rarely seen outside this area of the Zoo, Also it's beak is much more rugged than that of the local Ibis and they sport this wonderful black feathers in their back. D1x, Raw, Lens=70-200mm afs-VR f/2.8-2.8, FL=400mm, Manual mode, 1/500sec SS-f/5.6 EV=-0.7, ISO=200, Flash D-TTL EV-1.5. Any comments and or reposts are always welcome!! [b]Alex Calzadilla[/b]
