Sugar Land, TX

Ibis eating Acorns
I took this photo while on my way to work. These Ibis live here year round.
The landscapers mowed this area yesterday, so there are plenty of broken acorns in the grass.
They were having a feast when I drove up, but started to walk away from me by the time I got the camera to my eye.

Sony DSLR-A700
1/160s f/5.6 at 60.0mm iso200 full exif

The march of the Ibis. Perfectly aligned. Have you noticed the increase in numbers in the past two years. Almost as bad as the redbelly whistling ducks.

What a cool shot Lynn! Carefully striding and picking the broken acorns - Forward march!
