One mourning when i let the dogs out i found my front yard overran by white Ibis. I only managed one quick shot before the dogs ran the birds off. There was close to 50 birds all together. I tryed using reflet on this but i didn't like the results i got with it. This was done with ACDsee Photomanager.==Panasonic DMC FZ18==

I need to visit your front yard! Looks like something they like is in the grass. What a sight to see so many at once. I'm glad you were able to capture some before they scattered. Nice!

My yard is overrun by plastic pink flamingos. LOL. Just kidding. Pretty cool shot of all the Ibises. Nice work with the reflection program.

I like it Huck. If the economy gets any worse, you might have to start eating Ibis. They probably taste like chicken. lol What a wonderful sight this must have been. Excellent capture.

My dogs make a big fuss if there are a couple of pheasants in the front yard ... I can't imagine what it would be like with 50+ birds. Wonderful capture Ed ... love the reflections.

Never found an ibis in my front yard Ed, only the neighbours dog doing what it had to do somewhere else, lol.
Glad you were able to capture some of them as it's a wonderful sight. Thanks for this fine capture my friend.
Regards, Cornelius.

Oh my! I shall never see 50 white Ibis on my front lawn. I'm sure of it! There was a horse once and another time a flock of turkeys and then there were some rooting pigs and hundreds of gackles filled the trees, but nothing quite as awesome as this. I'm glad you got to capture them to show us, Ed.

I like this shot. Very cool pattern. I love
the mirror image of the bird touching the water with
its bill. I wish I got to vote on it.

This is a nice shot...I like how it looks like a bolt of fabric with ducks all over it. The mirror image is very nice.
