 Red Ibis Good afternoon all, look what I found this morning at the salt ponds, a Red Ibis!! This is another first for me, I have never seen one of these before not even in a zoo. I spotted this bright red bird from a long ways away and at first thought it must be a red macaw that got away from it’s owner but as I got closer I could see it was something else? Of all the birds I have ever tried to get close to this one now gets the award for being the “most afraid of humans”! I had to greatly crop this photo, the second I got within 100 feet he was gone. For my local photographers I would grab a pair of binoculars and the longest lens you have and get down there and try your luck, he probably won’t be here for long. Along with finding this red beauty I saw all the flamingos again but was unable to approach them as close as I did on Sunday, that was truly a lucky morning. I did however find a very unafraid Cara-Cara and took some really great shots of him, will send you one tomorrow. I will probably head back here for another try on Thursday morning so any of you locals wanting to join just let me know.
I may be going diving soon, kind of waiting to hear if there are any jellyfish still in our waters, they were spotted all over yesterday.
I just put the puppies to bed for their afternoon nap. At 5:30 we are taking them all back to the vet for their second appointment and at 7:00 we have our first person coming to the house for adoption, we are very excited! Well, I have to run to the store and get my dive gear ready, I will be back tomorrow, have a great day, Barry
