My horoscope:Good old Google! After some frustration and some help from a couple of commenters who suggested the shorebirds wading in our yard yesterday might be ibis, I was able to identify our young honeymooning couple.
You have something to smile about today...
On a birdwatchers' website based in Pennsylvania appears a photo of what looks to me like the same bird, which was labeled a white ibis (Eudocimus albus), even though the white is limited to their breasts and bellies. The US Geological Survey web site, USGS, says the dark coloration indicates these are immature birds, and they'll eventually turn all-white. So they might have had a teenage wedding recently.
The photo here is the one spotted in Pennsylvania. Compare with the photos in yesterday's post, and draw your own conclusions.
