I first thought that this was a Glossy Ibis, but no longer think so. Anyone?

Looks like a juvie White Ibis to me.
What a terrific series of shots! I'm so glad this worked out for you in the end. Sounds like you had an excellent time, and you certainly took some excellent pictures. Well worth the price of that pass! I would have loved to have seen that twilight arrival of the mass of birds back to the area. Incredible. Good for you, and thanks for posting these! I really enjoyed seeing them :encouragement:
Have fun Wayne! Safe travels!

Looks like Wayne beat you to it!
Just to rub it in a little more Kevin - saw a male Painted Bunting in my backyard a couple of days ago. Sorry!
Oh, how I wish I had this pose to shoot again. I can't believe that I let the highlights get blown out!!
If I had a nickle....
I just realized that I haven't posted any shots I took with the D500 since I returned home! It's time to get going on those!

Your EXIF isn't displaying, Wayne, so no way for us tell which body you used. Looks like you had some fun out there!
