IBIS-Not a Cattle Egret


Jack Jeffrey told me about this bird. Since it was him, it must have been important so I went and shot it. From the net it seems this is a rare bird for Hawaii, that it may have come from a very small population from another island. The beginning of that population may have been from people or by flying from the mainland US. This bird has brown eyes and beautiful colored wings. Hilo, Hawaii Oct 23, 2009.
