I think these are good photos of an IBis, but the Ibis went and got himself all dirty. By the end of winter, these are the dirtiest birds I have seen. It is why I have been prejudiced against them.

My camera was shipped yesterday from NJ, by Fed Ex, and it is on its way home to mama as we speak. Surprisingly no eagles have been camping on my doorstep with its absence.

I will be glad to get out, after Thanksgiving and "hunt" those suckers down!

After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    What's the word...dirty bird? rolleyes1.gif Good captures, Ginger. Like them "dirty birds". Show's they are not too good to get down 'n' dirty....and make a mess of themselves. thumb.gif


    Hope your camera is back to normal.

    Good shots Ginger thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Laughing.gif I've always wanted to shoot one of these guys. But after seeing what little piggies they are, I'm not so sure. Geeze, such a pretty white bird that smeared mud really stands out rolleyes1.gif and so close to all that water too.....lol

    Steve, around here an Ibis is about as common as an Egret. The only thing I enjoy about them is that they fly in groups. Someday I am going to get a good shot of a flock of birds.

    Thanks for stopping and commenting,

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nice shots Ginger. I also like the expression you captured on the first bird. Looks like a kid who got caught in the candy jar with chocolate all over his face.
