So this one's for you, granny j.
Wouldn't you just love to see THAT one walking down the creek bed in Prescott?

What a beautiful bird. It looks almost unreal.
Thanks, k -- you just know I'd love to see one of these beasties marching down a local wash. I'll bet you would, too! Wikipedia says that they got some pink ibis back a few years ago when eggs from Trinidad were snuck into a white ibis nest & there was subsequent interbreeding. With my preference for red, I think being ibis-ed would beat being flamingo-ed all hollow!
Doesn't he, Kirsten? I seem to particularly like animals and flowers with that half-unreal, *almost looks fake* thing goin' on.
Oh, granny j, I am so tickled about this EXTREMELY RED bird for you!!! hee hee hee!!! Flamingoes are nice too, but really pink not red, see?
And a PINK ibis?!
How very bizarre! I mean, I thought it was usually just humans that blended colors that way when we mix the parent colors up.
That was a new one on me. Cool!
Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.
