21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Feeding Ibis

A feeding ibis creating ripples in the water, and silhouetted by sunrise in the wetlands. I spotted this bird just around sunrise foraging in the water. Lying in the grass to get a low perspective, and using the high speed shooting mode on my camera, I was able to capture a series of images, of which, this was my favorite.
