The bright red plumage of a scarlet ibis comes from the carotenoid-rich crustaceans it feeds on in coastal wetlands. I used a slow shutter/panning technique for this image as the ibis came in to roost at the end of the day on the outskirts of Georgetown, the capital of Guyana. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 900, f/5.6 at 1/100th of a second.

Beautiful!
Stunning, Sean!
I wish our Florida ibis had that coloration. It’s beautiful
What a beauty only have white ones in Florida
They must be cousins
