White Ibises gather in groups in shallow wetlands and estuaries in the southeastern United States, on march 02, 2007. At each step, their bright red legs move through the water, and their curved red bill probes the muddy surface below. As adults, these wading birds are all white except for their black wingtips, but young birds are brown above and white below. White Ibises nest in colonies in trees and shrubs along the water's edge, changing locations nearly every year.
