The Bottle Brush trees are in full bloom. Just waiting for the Hummingbirds. They should be here any day now, they love these.

Good fishing day in the backyard for just some of the many different large birds we get to see!

Backyard Birds – Ibis
One sole ibis walking around the backyard today, I am sure the others are near by, on the other side of the house in the nature preserve. I walked out to get close for the shots and a hawk swooped down right over the ibis as I was preparing to take the 45 shots to get these best 6. I guess the hawk might have had more in mind than just a few photos like me. Never walk alone!
Alligator on the bank
Brandi says from the kitchen, “Oh look the large alligator is across the lagoon on the bank”. 10-11 feet.
Birds from the yard. These are Killdeer.
