The scarlet ibis from the northern coast of South America is very well named because virtually everything – its plumage, legs and beak – are a rich, red color. Apparently, a steady diet of red crustaceans is responsible for the coloring, vindicating the 1826 quote by Anthelme Brillat-Savarin and the 1942 book title by nutritionist Victor Lindlahr “You are What You Eat.” This Eudocimus ruber is from Safari West in Santa Rosa, California.
