white ibis social

Today 14 white ibis were socializing lakeside and I could not resist a little photoshoot on the way home. A detour like this can make me late an hour at least, but, I just can't help myself. I didn't just see the white ibis either... I saw several little blue herons, several ducks, 2 great blue herons, a anhinga, a bald eagle , 2 great white egrets, a snowy egret, 2 wood storks, 2 sandhill cranes, 2 tricolor herons, a common yellowthroat, and a loggerhead shrike. I think that is it! Wow, no wonder I was late getting home right?

Was wondering where all the white ibis were hiding

I guess I don't have to wonder anymore. I found them...a lot of them...I counted 2 dozen and most were hanging pretty comfortably under a great big willow tree situated in someone's backyard but on the lake. The area is Summerport which is a neighborhood down the street from me. I photographed some juvies and adults. So pretty!
