What species are these Florida birds?

My sister snapped this pic of birds that were going through her Florida neighborhood (just west of Orlando) during the winter of 2018. I believe the two at the left are adults, while the rest are fledglings. I tried to find them on the web and in my print bird guides, but, only got matches/opinions based on shape (ibis or heron), not the colors, which don't seem to match any breed. Any help would be appreciated. It would be great, if you could include a link to a definitive web page with image and description. Thanks!

    They are juvenile White Ibis. It is odd that there are no adults.

    We have white birds that look like that here in south Florida.  They are white ibis.  I’m guessing those are in the ibis family.
