Description
While at the Detroit Zoo, I could not resist getting a few shots of the resident scarlet ibis that lives in the large plant-scaped exhibit hall. The background is an out of focus palm frond that adds a tie dyed feel to the image. The red color is derived from the pigment astaxanthin, which is obtained from shrimps and small crustaceans in the bird's natural diet.
