I went to Chick-Fil-A to get a salad for lunch and decided to do a little bird watching. You see, there's a retention pond there that usually has a lot of birds around it. Also, I'm pretty sure people are feeding the birds by the way the Ibises followed my car. I pulled over onto the grass/sidewalk to take these photos out of my car window.
So here's a bunch of White Ibises.
There were a lot of Mallards, too. I asked why they were sitting that way and Dad said they were napping. Hope I didn't interrupt!
Dad says these are Muscovy Ducks. He doesn't like them because they are non-native and they interbreed with the native ducks.
Speaking of that, I asked Dad about these ducks. He was looking at it on my camera, not my computer so he couldn't see it all big like you guys. He thinks these are some kind of hybrid and called the one "a messed up duck". He thought the ring around the eye of the one looked like a Wood Duck hybrid. What do you guys think they are?
