Glossy Ibis by John James Audubon
The University of Pittsburgh owns one of the rare, complete sets of John James Audubon's Birds of America, and their double elephant folio set is on-line with every image. Seeing so many unusual looking birds in the thumbnail gallery is fun, and when you select one to look at more closely, you can zoom in on all the wonderful details Audubon carefully recorded from his observations of these amazing creatures. Enjoy!

Wasn't this picture in our Birds coloring book growing up?
I don't remember that coloring book at all! I bet you're right though!
