We can’t post that photo on a thread about breeding.

Gracious, me. However do those birds manage to breed and reproduce without Gummn’t intervention?

Even while feeding in crowded, shallow pools, Ibises give one another a proper amount of "personal space", with no fighting. Other wading birds are tolerant of Ibises, but intolerant of others whether the same species or not. (Something I witness right from my computer).

:)

Ibis flocks of 6 or 12 birds can be seen walking down the quieter streets of Miami, Florida.

We live on a golf course and often have large flocks of ibis wandering through our yard. They’re eating something, with all those beaks pecking in the ground...I figure they’re better than having a pest control guy come spray the yard, LOL. Ibis are amazing in that they can function with one leg, quite efficiently. Over the years, I’ve seen many that are missing a foot or part of one leg, and I’ve seen several with a lame leg. They seem to keep up and hop along with the flock.

BTW, your photos are beautiful.

I saw a family of Sand Hill Cranes waltzin' down the road..

So I stopped to look, and they huddled together

So I backed off a little

When I got out of the van, they took to the offense, I backed away..
