Hi,

These guys were passing through Prescott about a month ago. They only stayed a couple days. They were amazing to watch fly. They would circle and circle and then just drop out of the sky like someone had shot them.

This day and evening they circled and circled. They landed for a while then faded off into the sunset.

#5 is my favorite. Hope you enjoy..

    Good capture....... they are a good color, as the ibis in Australia is all white and a bit of a pest in some areas

    Hi,

    The color on these is just as shot. They look like the old Shark Skin suits (I'm dating myself, wayyy back).. very iridescent, almost to a glow.

    The group (flock) photos almost look like I stretched them out lengthwise, but I didn't they just fly that way. Very different from what they look like on the ground.

    Thanks for all the comments
