A couple of great white egrets hanging out with the ibis

The egrets and herons typically travel alone...  so we were very happy to see these two great white egrets traveling together.  They stand so tall and beautiful among the flock of ibis here on nappy beach.  Egrets have such long elegant necks...   and they hold their heads high.

















Notice above how the ibis have shed their breeding colors - bright cherry legs and beak with a black tip - and have gone back to their light salmon legs and beak.

Except for this guy...   No way am I giving up my cherry coloring... I'm going to keep it as long as possible.  I think I look pretty hot in cherry and white, don't you?  :D
