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.)

Location: Orlando Wetlands Park, Christmas, FL
