I’m not complaining, these are fun critters, but wow they have moved in and basically taken over parts of a small local swamp.
They did get some push back earlier today though. A group of them were following a Little Blue Heron, closely. When they were almost stepping on his heels I watched him turn and ‘wack’ the closest Ibis. They repeated this until the Ibis got the idea. No photos, both the Ibis and I were completely surprised.

Above a few of the blue eyed locals hanging around their favorite watering hole, complete with a gazillion Crayfish.
What a great scene – can just imagine that Heron giving the beatdown.
He was no bigger than the Ibis, and there were three of them. Yet he finally had enough 😂
