The summer rains were continuing through September. We had a constant small puddle in between our yard and the golf course. The ibis spent a lot of time taking baths in the puddles. One afternoon I slipped outside to get some shots of them that were not through the window.
The doves preferred to take their baths in the bird bath.
Another bluebird shot with a worm in his beak.
Migrating house finches were passing through and stopping by the feeder.
I was coming into the neighborhood one morning and saw a black bellied whistling duck family in the pond at the entrance. I luckily had my camera in the car and pulled over to catch the babies napping.
I sat in my car for a while watching and after a few minutes they got up and waddled over closer to the water. I thought they were going in for a swim but they took another break. This was the last time I saw them until recently and now they are all grown up.
Summer storms moving through the area. I walked out on the golf course across the street to get that last shot. The sun was just peeking out and turned the sky pink.
Beautiful!
I love your critters. I have never seen an ibis in the wild. I’d love to. Your whistling ducks are spectacular. I see very few blue birds but I saw a house finch at our feeder earlier this week.
Me again, I forgot to add that your sky shots are spectacular!!
Beautiful sky captures! I love all the birds and images. The Whistling Ducks have always been a favorite! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
