Ibis

It is impossible to get to my house without passing the golf course of our neighboring community. Most of the time, especially when there has been rain, the grounds have quite a few ibises bobbing around, their long beaks often digging in the dirt. It's hard to stop and take a picture, so today after I came home, I walked up to them. I think I got in my daily 10,000 steps! They are really cute when walking and majestic when they rise to fly. I probably won't be seeing them too much longer, because there is a plan to do away with the golf course and build homes on the property. Nobody around here is in favor of that.
