Photographer's Note
The photo was taken in the Bermuda zoo.
Scarlet Ibis: This nervous and wary South American species was introduced in Florida either deliberately or by escaped birds, and is unmistakable with its bright scarlet plumage and red legs. Often breeds with the White Ibis producing various shades of pink offspring. Prefers shallow marshy areas and cypress swamps as well as inland wetlands, pastures, lawns, and shallow ponds.
Their brilliant red plumage comes from pigments in the bodies of crustaceans on which it feeds.
