I spy an Ibis

This past weekend at the beach, Lenna and I were looking at some birds wading near the intercoastal. I explained to her how to identify White Ibis (long, curved bill, red face, white feathers), figuring that this was mostly going over her head but that she might file it away somewhere in her little brain. Well today, we're getting out of the car after school, and she points and says "mommy, look at the ibis." As I finish collecting all of our bags out of the car, I'm thinking she must have mixed up what I told her about the birds, because very rarely are there White Ibis hanging around our neighborhood, and when they are here, they're usually picking around for bugs in someone's yard, not up on the telephone wire where she was pointing... Well, sure enough, there were two White Ibis standing on top of a street lamp...

Thanks, Karen and Kuffy, for a great week. Here's a cute one:
