Grand Plumage
Merritt Island, Blackpoint Drive, Florida, USA-January 08, 2020: Something has excited this heron to fluff his feathers, and aren't they pretty! An interesting pattern which looks like an X shows on his back. Another example of the effects of light. Two prominent feathers are causing a shadow rendering the appearance of an X.

Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Palm Beach County, FL, U.S. - January 8, 2021: A White Ibis turns to look at me. It's at that moment I notice his amputated foot. What happened I wonder? And how does he get along? Does he roost in the trees with the others at night? He looks pretty healthy regardless.
