White Ibis

(Eudocimus albus)

Description:

Immature White Ibis begin as mostly brown, but add white feathers as they mature. It takes as long as two years for young birds to acquire their white coloration. Hurricane Harvey, in 2017, hit Port Aransas (Texas) hard. The beginning stages of rebuilding the Port Aransas Nature Center’s boardwalk began with a 1500′ footpath, but there are plans to extend it to about three miles.
