White Ibises forage in a flooded field in August 2008, a few days after Tropical Storm Fay passed over Naples, Florida.
My Hanh Dang of Midway City, California, found the adult and juvenile birds
(Eudocimus albus) near
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. "I got out of the car, lay flat on the grass by the roadside, and waited for them to walk by," she says. She used a hand-held Nikon D200 camera and a 70-200mm lens with a TC-14EII teleconverter.
