Big pink birds. I say again: Big! Pink!! Birds!!!
If they didn’t exist, no one could have imagined them.
But they do exist, and the world is a better place for it, even on a gray day.

If
- by Rudyard KiplingIf you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you,If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too;If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise . . .

“If they didn’t exist, no one could have imagined them.” Very true
I know they nest up in the trees, but somehow they don’t look “right” in trees…
Jim R – Yeah, they’re a bit bigger than anything else we see in trees. I have the same reaction to seeing great blues in trees – they look overpowered for their environment.
Very cool!
Carla – And even better in the flesh! Big Pink Birds!
Especially on a grey day when the trees are darker grey except for vanilla frosting and the land is interminably meringue and the air is filled with floury sifting of snowflakes. A most welcome rush of roseate wings.
Laurna – Yes, they do warm the heart and lift the spirit – even here, where it’s not quite so monochromatic. Thanks to this community’s poet for checking in . . .
Except for the head, It looks like the Scarlet ibis which resides in great flocks in the Caroni Swamp of Trinidad.
Gorgeous birds!
Barry – I’ve seen photos of the scarlet ibis, but never expect to see one in the flesh, much less a flock. Good for you!
