Eudocimus albus
Medium-sized wading bird with long, downward-curving bill. Adults white except for black tips on wings and pink to reddish coloration on exposed flesh around face, bill, and legs. Young birds are dark brown on wings, neck, head, and tail, but noticeable white patches occur on back and belly. Juveniles begin to acquire adult coloration near end of first year but retain some brown feathers on head and neck until third year.
These three young Ibis were in a yard bordering the river.
