South Florida--Ibis city!




I’ve just returned from South Florida and visited the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge.

What an awesome facility! Did you know that the gentleman Ding Darling started the federal Duck Stamp program? His idea has generated millions of dollars!


I got to see many shore birds including these White Ibis. This group was sitting on a telephone line. The darker ones are juveniles. They have long curved orange beaks and long orange legs and feet. They move loudly through the vegetation probing the ground for yummy insects!
