White Ibis, Gallinule, Coot

I went to Amelia Earhart park on Dec. 3. It didn't have the variety of critters I saw last time (among other things the farm animals are either gone, or they locked them up in the barn before 3:30pm). So mostly I have bird photos.



White Ibis








Florida Gallinule -- I like the way the shadow on the water looks.

Wow - the ibis is really an iconic bird here!
However that picture with a little Gallinule is stunning!

The ibis is very much at home in the park- a nasty little boy ran at a group of them, shouting, and they just moved out of his way without bothering to fly off.

The gallinules are shyer, and tend to stay much longer in the water- I think their long, thin toes feel better walking on mud. :^)
