I was delighted to spot a Glossy Ibis in close range, even if he was being stalked by a Tricolored Heron looking to feed on any fish stirred up by the Ibis.
Finally, the Glossy Ibis made a pivot to the left leaving his companion behind for a moment and flashing his green iridescent side.

What a beautiful bird! The water looks so clear there.
That iridescent color is just amazing in the sunlight. Yes, the little fishes were easily spotted by these waders!
You caught that color perfect 👍👍
😁 And did you notice that even his legs are colored?
I know 👍
