One of those series that took years to catch a few photographs.

White Ibis are a common bird in the southern US, not overly shy, and nested somewhere other than where I looked. The closest I had ever been to a nesting site was standing on the other side of an island watching the adults dropping into the bushes and trees.

Earlier this year I did see an active nest with chicks for the first time, but very far away. However, I broke the curse 😁.

Below is a much better view taken as I walked by an active nest in a rookery last month. The nest was at eye level, the chicks begging for food, and of course ‘Mom’ completely frazzled.

The sun was full on making many of the images over exposed, but I did get these. Works for me.
