22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Two Buff Necked Ibises

We were having a meal at our lodgings in the coffee triangle of Colombia. The dining hall is more of a shelter than a building with many open vistas to the outdoors. (The stories about the climate in the Colombian Andes being eternal spring are true.) While dining, I noticed these two Buff Necked Ibises perched on the remains of a palm tree. My camera was handy, and I took the photo.
