Hi, bird people! I was volunteering at Joshua House today and they have a pond in the front of the property that attracts lots of birds. Here's a look at the pond.
There are actually birds in both of those photos if you look close, but I have close-ups so you don't have to strain your eyes. Now, remember a couple of months ago my brother and I got in an argument about White Ibises having black tips on their wings? It turned out my brother was right (boo!) but I had never seen it with my own eyes. He only knew because his old Boy Scout Troop had a White Ibis as part of their regional council's patch. Well, today I saw one grooming itself up in a Cypress and I saw for myself!
The Muscovy Duck was there, too.
I managed to hide behind a tree and get a picture of the Little Blue Heron. Once it spotted me, it flew across the pond making the most awful noise you ever heard! Like, worse than what the Crows were doing!
And here's another Ibis picture just because I think it looks cool.
