I was in the computer room working on some pictures for the blog …when an immature Ibis flew into the yard. It was pouring down rain….I’ve seen them at the neighbors but only once before in our yard….so I was thrilled….a few minutes later a White Ibis flew in….then another …and then another…5 all totaled. None of the photos came out but I did get a short video. It’s amazing how far they stab their bills into the ground.
I didn’t hear any of them calling to the others…..they just knew…isn’t nature wonderful? I hope they come back again…they make great lawn aerators.. Their wings have black tips..but only visible when they fly.
Great video. We don't have those around here so I wouldn't have been able to identify them if they were in my yard. The rain didn't seem to matter to them. Helen
ReplyDeleteCarol, what a wonderful video! I have never seen a White Ibis (until now) LOL. Very cool indeed.
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled! I've only seen pictures of them and now I had a feeling of being there looking through your window. Thank you so much for sharing the wildlife in your yard!
ReplyDeleteVery Nice! Of course, we don't see those birds here. It's amazing that they can see something that deep and go for it!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing sight to see Carol. Makes a change from the Starlings I get lol
ReplyDeleteThat was quite a downpour too.
Lawn aerators is right! The incredible variety of birds you get in your yard makes my collection of song birds seem awfully dull by comparison. Great footage!
