Another of my target species in Guyana was the scarlet ibis. I had photographed these birds before in Trinidad, but at quite a distance as flocks returned from Venezuela to roost for the evening. In Guyana I was able to photograph them at close range and captured all sorts of behavior and many flight shots. Of the 27 species of ibis in the world, the scarlet ibis is certainly the most brilliantly plumed. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1100, f/5.6 at 1/2000th of a second.

I love these birds! Such vibrant color!
Thanks Mom. They are pretty spectacular birds.
What a great shot, Sean! One of Mother Natures special Valentines! Absolutely beautiful – many thanks.
I know, I didn’t even think Valentine’s Day when I selected this photo to send, but seems it was the perfect choice.
A beauty.
Thanks Donna.
