A Flock of Ibis





I came across these little guys while walking my brother's dog this week.


A Flock Of Ibis, Jeanne Turner McBrayer, 2015


The ibis appeared to be eating bugs out of a sunny spot on a neighbor's grassy lawn.  They looked very pretty in the sunshine.

We have had some great bird-watching off the deck of the house.  There is a small lake, and we enjoy seeing the variety of wildlife attracted to it.  Otters, ducks, herons, iguanas, even bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and owls are all in the neighborhood.

There are two bald eagles perched at the very top of the Norfolk Island Pine, just above the first pine branch.


A couple of ducks at the edge of the lake.




An iguana is swimming across the lake.

It is a serene place to sit outside and read or just relax.  The weather is getting nicer here, less hot and less humid, making it even more attractive.

Hi Jeanne,
I loved that you shared your water color paintings with all of us this morning!
Wishing you and charlie well on your next steps on your journey.
We did try Yoders and it was wonderful!
