Chasing birds from their rest is something we try our best to avoid. It was pretty early and I never did see them until they exploded out of the reeds.
The only reason I was able to get a shot was they flew low over water on my left.
White Ibis.

Yes, sometimes you just don’t have any idea they’re nearby until you’re upon them – you did a great job of capturing the moment here, Ted!
Thanks so much. Sometimes you can actually take advantage of the opportunities. 😁
