I enjoyed watching and photographing the ibis on Sanibel Island. They use their amazing beaks to snatch shellfish out of their shells with great efficiency. One can see how natural selection would render their beaks that shape, but why the bright colors on the legs and beaks? They are very docile and coordinated. Their juveniles (see bottom photo) are especially striking. Have you ever seen one before? I had not.

I hope you will be putting these on your gallery page so I can buy greeting cards of the second one down.
