Challenge 143: Lucky Charms: Scarlet Ibis

When I was growing up, I’d always keep my eyes peeled when we got to a certain section of the highway that was right up against the Caroni swamp. Sometimes you could see scarlet ibises among the mangrove trees as the car passed by, a really magical sight with the bright red color vibrating in contrast with the surrounding greenery. To me they were a good omen, and especially if I had a test that day, I hoped they were a lucky charm!
