I know it's here somewhere.
This is a young white ibis that I saw in Georgia last November. There were two of them feeding in a small hidden pond across from our hotel. There were other birds there as well, I went down late one afternoon and took some photographs.
"American white ibises are gregarious birds; however, they are territorial and defend the nesting and display sites against intruders. When threatened or defending a territory American white ibises perform displays that include lunging forward with the bill in a horizontal posture, and standing upright, and snapping the bill opposite another bird engaging in the same display. Birds also lunge and bite, often holding onto an opponent's head or wings". - animalia.bio
