I am a One-legged Gray-capped Ibis

You won't find me in your Sibley book

(I'm actually a White Ibis with a shadow on me

Dee should put on her glasses and take one more look.)

(I totally thought we had found some rare gray-headed, gray-backed Ibis. Fortunately someone pointed out the branch casting a shadow on the bird! He also had 2 legs.)
