A gaggle of ibis?


I saw a flock/ herd/uhh… group of white ibis juveniles on yesterday’s swamp- walk. The light was low and they were very busy… thus, the poor picture. I was wishing for a “real camera”. I posted an ibis’ picture back in the early spring; I wonder if that was their Momma? Lots of other critters were about, too. Wood ducks were whistling, kingfishers were twittering, and squirrels were scratching in the leaves. I saw a huge green caterpillar and supposed it to be a Luna moth larva. The mosquitofish were busily working the water surface. They must have been happy to get some rain.
