Bin ChickenThis is the Australian White Ibis (apparently also called Sacred Ibis, although the real Sacred Ibis is an African species). Here in Australia these birds have garnered with unattractive soubriquet of "bin chicken" (they do rummage through bins a lot...)

70-200mm f/2.8 GM II at 200mm, 1/5000, ISO 250. Bright morning sunshine in a cloudless sky. Hard to believe it's the middle of winter.
Nice shots.

Superb bird and shotsSwallow-Tailed Kites have returned to our area. Last year they were here for about five weeks. I saw at least 10 today as well as a couple of Mississippi Kites. It's facinating to watch them grab an insect and eat while soaring around.
