It appears that the flying ibis brothers got into as argument while practicing there new hi-wire circus act. I've found these birds on my fence, in my trees, on my car roof, on the roof of my house and on the hood of my truck. But i've never seen them on a power line till now.

They are keeping their distance to avoid an arc from beak to beak LOL! Great unusual image Ed and wonderful clarity a well. Leaving their markings on the car roof - that is where I'll stop being a bird friend.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

They must be related to the Wallendas. That is pretty cool. An Ibis High wire act. Is there a net below? LOL. Excellent capture, Ed.

Didn't know that Ibis' could give such a wonderful acrobatic performance, Ed.
Both a rare and wonderful image! Great that you were able to capture this scene! Well done.

The photo is really a unique capture and the Ibis Brothers are one of my favorite acts. I remember them from the Ed Sullivan show. They normally appeared with Senor Wences.
Very funny and well done post Huck.

Amazing capture Ed ... birds do pick the most unusual places to rest or show off. Nice detail too.

2 for the price of one, fabulous Ed. They sure are looking at each other. Beautiful colours and have to agree with Sherree, really a very funny place to rest

Bravo bravo bravo!!! I think I'm truly cheering out loud!!! What a grand photo!!!!!!I love those two birds. AT first sight I thought this was a manipulation, but I see how they are both different birds and just wonderful that you captured their
'high wire act'..I just love it. Verena

I have to agree with you Ed, I don't think I have ever seen an ibis on a power line before. Nicely captured. Lyn.
