Melanie, great shots!
Don't you just love when you see a flock of big birds like that in a tree ... living decorations!
It was real foggy here this morning and I got some pictures of an Ibis perched on the power line; there were two up there and I guess they were waiting for the fog to lift before foraging for food. There are three out behind my neighbors house right now; they were all perched on dead branches of a willow tree and then flew down to the ground and were walking along the waters edge, feeding. I will get some pictures downloaded shortly.
I really miss seeing Ospreys; they've been abundant here the past few years and we see lots of them from @ late Nov., early Dec. through May and sometimes into mid June. I always look forward to their return. There are nesting platforms for them all over town, a couple at Walmart and Sams Club parking lots and one right here in my neighborhood by the tennis courts. These are photos from last year and the year before:
