I visited the Aviary at Taipei Zoo last Wednesday. I was at the hospital for a regular check-up, the Zoo is only two metro-stop down the road. I thus packed my camera and went for a visit after my doctor's appointment. 
I have been to the zoo several times but never been to its Aviary. The species in the aviary are very different from that of the Aviary at Hong Kong Park, which I visited several weeks ago. The Scarlet Ibis, Eudocimus ruber has very beautiful bright red color. I was able to catch several pictures of them in flight. To see more Camera-Critters from around the world click here.

Wow ... those are AMAZING pictures! Firstly just because they are Scarlet Ibises, and secondly because they're flying! Great captures!
When I was eight or nine, I had a set of Tropical Bird collector's cards (well, most of them - they came free with PG Tips tea) and my friends and I used to swap them in school. I had several favourites, and the Scarlet Ibis was one. I could never have imagined that one day I'd have a blogging friend who would show me pictures of them!
How absolutely gorgeous. WOWOWOWOWOW
(Glad your check-up went well.)
I've never seen a scarlet ibis in flight, they are stunning!

Fantastic shots! I love their bright color.
These pictures are amazing!
Don't the wings in flight remind you of angel wings? . . . Or maybe it's just the influence of the season. :)
So gorgeously taken!
Mine is up now too
their color is stunning
the second shot is amazing!
Great shots! These are beautiful birds, and their color is amazing.
I remember seeing the Scarlet Ibis while growing up in Florida (@ 1960's) Haven't seen one in years. Great photo!
Wonderful shots if the Scarlet Ibises. They are beautiful birds.
That last one was a real beauty - I feel envious :-)

cool! nice flight shot. We're headed to Trindad and Tobago in a few weeks and can't wait to see them down there!
What a beautiful bird.
A fascinating bird perfectly photographed! The second photo especially is gorgeous!
How lucky you are to have a zoo and aviary conveniently nearby. We're lucky, too, because these are fabulous photos. The color of the ibises leaps out at us, and the mid-flight capture conveys the wonder of flight and of the beautiful creatures poised in mid-air.
Great photos of most spectacular birds.
Wow! I love this shot.You capture its perfectly.
Beautiful birds and you captured them well...Michelle
Excellent shots of a gorgeous bird!
