I pass by this little pond coming home from work every day. It sits in front of an office building. Recently I was seeing spoonbills napping along the bank of the pond. A few weeks ago I was coming home from a park right before lunch and saw that they were still there. I pulled into the empty parking lot and got out and snapped a few pictures. I stayed in the parking lot and watched them napping for a few minutes. A few of them would look over at me but most of them kept napping. I sat down on the ground for a while and watched them sleeping. It was very quiet and peaceful. There a lot of young ones mixed in. They are still very pale pink. There were a few ibis hanging around as well. Then I started getting hungry so I headed out for lunch.
One lone wood stork was also with the spoonbills.
I think I would have taken a picnic with me and just spend my lunchtime watching them.
I love the Spoonbills, they are cool birds. The Wood Stork is awesome too. Great photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
What a cool thing, being able to see such awesome birds during your lunch. The red patches and red eyes of the older birds are fascinating. The stork is great, too.
That is beyond wonderful!
