2024—Itchy Ibis

My obsession with creating gifs and time lapses seems to be taking over. I ran across a sequence of images of a White Ibis scratching its ear that I took early one February morning in Grand Isle, Louisiana on the Gulf of Mexico. At that time I decided a gif would be the perfect way to share this set of images but I forgot about them until now. So here’s that long-delayed gif. It was a breezy morning and one of the Ibis’ feathers, floating on the surface of the water, blew away while it scratched that itch. I love the goofy look on the Ibis, with its red beak and blue eyes.
