It was a great thrill to be able to get up close and personal with this beautiful Scarlet Ibis during our visit to Trinidad last year. On the whole these birds were quite shy and as soon as our boat would get anywhere near they would immediately fly away but this one was happily feeding as our boat drifted up. I really wanted to try to get a lower angle for the shot and considered getting into the water but there were lots of stingrays swimming around below us and I decided the risk wasn’t worth it. Seeing this bird up close in the wild was definitely one of my highlights of 2017.

We will be doing this trip again in spring of 2019, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2019-trinidad/
