Sorry for the late post..We took a trip through the area, not much of note
aside from Ramp Road. The pond there was busy, busy.. 80-100 Snowy and Great
Egrets, I counted 4 tricolored Herons, many juvi White ibis and 4 Glossy
Ibis. The Pines at the back of the pond were full of Egrets and Ibis all
jostling around for a good branch. The Glossy Ibis were along the back of
the pond foraging in the weeds. A little too far for my lens but I took
some pics anyhow. We rode around all the usual places and really didn't see
anything noteworthy. Nothing but Rock Doves, Laughing Gulls and a pair of
Terns on the bridge. One lone Butterfly in the Butterfly Garden at
Kiptopeke. Stopped at Stingrays of course..So the trip wasn't a total
waste:)
If only my husband would agree to a longer lens.. a 600mm would be nice:) I
could have gotten some great shots today. lol
Here's the pics...
