Weird and wonderful White-faced Ibis

It's always a treat for me to get down to Frank Lake, a very popular birding location south of Calgary. A casual trip was arranged for May 6th (thanks, Dan!) and we got the chance to see several of these rather exotic White-faced Ibis. Full zoom and heavily cropped as much as I dared, but it gives you an idea of what these birds look like, with their long bills and a glimpse of their beautiful, iridescent plumage.
