Startled or just looking for a better spot, a small flock of White Ibis with a few Snowy Egrets mixed in flew from the back of the pond to right in front of me.

I worked my way a bit closer and watched as the Ibis picked in the mud.

The Snowy Egrets, one with his eye on a small Alligator, didn’t seem so inclined to get dirty.

Very nice 👏👏👏👏.
Thanks!
This gang looks great against the winter grasses or just picking in the mud 😊. Very nice, Ellen.
Thanks, Belinda! It was fun watching them 😃.
