InterSpecies Bird Friendships



A juvenile Yellow-Crowned Night Heron and juvenile White Ibis have bonded and become good buddies. I followed these two young birds at a distance for quite awhile on a trail before it occurred to me what was going on and take a video. I got a little too close in the beginning and you can sense I'm cramping their style - I stayed back and they continued on their morning stroll together looking for tasty bugs to dig out of the ground.

White Ibis



Pair of White Ibis make a rest stop in the yard. With the characteristic long reverse-curved beak and black wing tips. One mature and one with a partially dark head and neck that likely fledged in late spring and has not turned completely white. A fairly common bird in Florida wetlands and fields they rarely visit the Backyard - this is the first time I captured them resting on the security light in mid-afternoon. The young Ibis seems to be watching me as much as I'm watching it.
