A flock of 10 or 12 White Ibis were feeding at the edge of a pond that is tangled with fallen brush and vegetation.

They crisscrossed a small open area of water, poking under all sorts of debris.

They move in random patterns when they are eating, two together quickly separate on their own food pursuit.

A pause to scratch.

The darker Ibis on the left is a juvenile, they slowly turn white over their first year.

I love how they hang out together!
Yes, fun to watch them ebb and flow as a group!
