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 ๐๐๐๐.
Thanks!
This gang looks great against the winter grasses or just picking in the mud ๐. Very nice, Ellen.
Thanks, Belinda! It was fun watching them ๐.
