Taking a walk up to Ocean Lawn

On Monday, the late afternoon was looking beautiful.  Decided instead of going to the gym, why be inside on a sunny day, went walking Magnolia Beach up to Ocean Lawn with Clark Pond showing off some fall colors.  The sun was so bright.

Activity over at Clark Pond

On Friday the Snowy Egret and Glossy Ibis were hanging out at Clark Pond.  The Glossy Ibis were hiding in the marsh.

Great Blue Heron at Clark Pond

Wish the photo was better but this beautiful bird took off in flight just as I got my camera. The wings are beautiful.

Glossy Ibis in Clark Pond

There must have been good eats at Clark Pond on Monday.  These Glossy Ibis were enjoying themselves.  Some info on these interesting birds from Wikipedia.

The glossy ibis is a wading bird in the ibis family Threskiornithidae. The scientific name derives from Ancient Greek plegados and Latin, falcis, both meaning “sickle” and referring to the distinctive shape of the bill.
