These days, birds have to be big or flashing under my nose
for me to see them
So, if ah sees 'em,
ah shoots 'em!
Made a pit stop at the Gumaracha park, they have facilities,
also at times a bird or two or more . . .
to put it kindly, Ibis were aerating the lawn
these two stopped for a pow-wow
geez, was it something I said?
ah well, I never did see the point in sulking,
c'mon guys lets party!
If all else fails, have a drink!
Ha, water can be just as stimulating.

Nice shots, we don't see those where I live.
ReplyDeletejust too cute - loved your narration. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures,but equally great commentary.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird pics! I like the first one, they seem to dance!
ReplyDeleteWe have four ibis, Arija, who live in an ironbark tree near our house, and who use the clear space in front of us to glide, one-after-the-other, down to the shore to feed at low tide. It's really spectacular, especially from our vantage point, watching how gracefully they do it.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the curved bill they do look very different than the raucous Hadeda Ibis and the Sacred Ibis I saw where a deep coral/red. Isn't it fun to see birds and wildlife from around the world.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous birds, great post. Again. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis pictures speak about their own story...
ReplyDeletewell done !
Lovely shots, Arija and cute captions. I hope you're keeping well. Blessings, Jo
ReplyDeleteThey are cool looking Ibis! Cute post and great shots Arija!
ReplyDeleteFun sequence!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteThese guys are almost prehistoric looking, aren't they? And I love that you gave them speaking parts in this post. Do that all the time with my pup Chet. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Arija...Lovely birds you have there ..great shot's and I love your captions ; ))
ReplyDeleteGrace
These are really the most beautiful, elegant birds Arija.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of the Ibis, this bird is not here in the Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteRegards, Irma
Haha! LOVE your captions!! I see them so often I tend not to really look at their stately courtliness and clean lines - but your pix show their true colours!
ReplyDeleteSuch unusual birds -- remind me of a large kiwi! :)
ReplyDeleteI have some shots of these birds watching the cricket!
ReplyDeleteNot usre what process was used to make the glass in our windows - but they are small pane lead-lights, so they could be old(ish) - what ever their origin they do make a nice pattern!

I LOVE their beaks!!
ReplyDeleteIt just so happens that I was reading an article about Thoth this morning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoth
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Ibises! I recently found out there is one species that can be found here but never saw it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful species, but it was invasive and a threat to native birds in Florida and now I think it has been completely eradicated.
ReplyDeleteAerating and fertilizing probably! I love your cowboy accent! (I shoot 'em all too!)
ReplyDeleteOn the Gold coast, I don't think they like Ibis, they call them rubbish birds and not sacred ones.
ReplyDeleteDelightful birds! I've never seen one except in a zoo.
