First Year White Ibis changing into White Plumage
I feel extremely fortunate to have seen this beautiful creature.

When it comes to shore birds, I must admit to being an amateur birder. I would like to thank my friend Kathy for identifying these birds for me. For nearly 5 years, she and her husband traveled in an RV all over the USA and Canada Birding!! They blogged about all they saw here and even made it to NC to meet us!!
You captured some beautiful photos. I once lived near Morehead City (in Kinston NC). Very pretty area but SO hot in summer!!! Blessings to you this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pics! We do see those birds from time to time, often mistaken for a heron!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over and having a laugh with us :) xoxox

ReplyDeleteOMCness, that egret took over from the chicken - or maybe it was showing the chicken how to do it..... but then (photo three) came the splat.....brrwhwhwhwwhw.... sorry! The angle against that tyre track just made it look so 'landing'!!!
Ibis are very elegant birds... Golly Madi - your mom did great here!!! Huggies, YAM-aunty xxx
oh Madi, wouldn't you love to see these guys? you could watch these same birds out my front window if you lived here, at one time there were 25 of them in the yard. i love the one in flight.
ReplyDeleteDon't think we have theese birdies in Sweden ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing pictures on them!
XOXO
We have Ibis everywhere........they aren't white and are a nuisance....but they are good to chase!
ReplyDeleteHow fun for you to have spotted these beautiful birds!!! I'm very happy for you...you got terrific images too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the link at I'd Rather B Birdin'....if you EVER have bird photos...do stop back and add a link!! We'll appreciate it any time.
Wonderful shots of the Egrets and the Ibis. Well done, have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeletelove the snowy taking a walk. :)
ReplyDeleteThose photos are so cool, especially the road crossing one!
ReplyDeleteLove your great captures! I too am an amateur but about most birds, not just shorebirds! I depend on my more serious birder friends for help, a lot! Aren't they sweet to be there for us! Loved that first shot. It was screaming for the caption "Just takin' a stroll!" :-)
ReplyDeletegreat pics! we love bird watching! doesn't your daughter live in Morehead City? I've never been there, but have heard it's nice.
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying your holiday weekend!
hugs,
Marie

We've never seen any of those birds around here. We especially like the take off one.
ReplyDeleteThe water birds fly over the house going to our creek to fish. It's hard to see them in the creek cause it twists and turns.
