... for buried treasure (Threskiornis molucca)

The same Australian Ibis as I showed you yesterday, but this time he appears to be hunting for the buried treasure he knew must be down there.

I'd not really noticed the red area on top of the head before!

Saturday Fun.

I mostly saw them in downtown Sydney doing dumpster "diving". I guess they had to hold their breath for that too ;)
