These are white ibis. With all the rain we've been having lately, they've had more worms and bugs coming up for air, as well as tadpoles and whatnot growing in ditches and things.
These almost look as if I used a flash, but I didn't. There was this interesting spotty sunlight coming through the trees behind me and lit the birds beautifully.
These were taken outside a branch of the library here, after checking out a few books on yesterday.
But I had something interesting happen there that I wrote about on my Least Significant Bits blog today, if you care to read it.
