    The Ibis are beginning to form larger flocks now as breeding season approaches. Up until today I would see 8 or 10 at a time, before long there will be flocks of 100 or more.

    If you are trying to grow crops in a river bottom, in a warm climate, you'll have bugs and grubs trying to eat your crops before you can. The Ibis is a master pest controller, and this may be why the ancient Egyptians venerated the Ibis so much they even placed them in royal tombs. Legends are...

    This specimen was photographed at the Jacksonville Zoo but is a free roaming bird, not part of an exhibit. Wood storks and Ibis tend to frequent this area because of the favorable conditions, oaks, and marsh. This was taken with a Pentax K10D, Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 using a tripod.
