La historia
I made this photo of a juvenile White Ibis (Eudocimus albus) at Reserva Natural Hato Berlín in Trinidad, Casanare, Colombia. The White Ibis eats mainly small aquatic prey, such as insects and small fish. It forages mainly by probing the bottom of shallow water with its bill to feel for prey. In the breeding season it gathers in huge colonies near water. Hato Berlín is a civil-society nature reserve on the Casanare savanna, about 10 km from Trinidad, where capybaras, caimans, turtles, monkeys and savanna and marsh birds can be seen. IUCN lists the White Ibis as Least Concern, with a stable population.
I used a Pentax K-1 with the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 for this one, at 1/250 sec, f/5.6, ISO 160. The Safari Llanero at Hato Berlín lets visitors watch and photograph wildlife in its habitat and share the culture and food of the people who live there.
