Today's Other Event - Where Grazing In The Grass Is A Gas, Can You Dig IT

It's not uncommon to witness a congregation of Ibis, also known as a crowd.
On various parts of ones yard in this neck of urban sprawl. This is the first time
in all my years do I get a treat to seeing them in at the vicinity of my back door.
This Ibis did not even flinch when I opened up the back door without knowing
my knowing it was foraging.

First there's the one, the scout.

Foraging and scoping out the area for whatever it is they are poking around for.

Another joins in for the foraging and getting a second opinion and whether to call the
rest on over. It's not often to find an Ibis on it's own, so where there is one there is likely
others.

Then there's the call to others, for an all clear and come on over and grab a bite.

Since last's night rain fall makes for a easier ground probing. Not much difference

if ever tryied pulling weeds while the ground is dry verses when the ground is moist 

just after a rain, a noticeable difference in effort.

As a train of Ibis file in forage, aerate and fertilize the yard. Sometimes you can

hear them cluck, click and coo.

They don't stick around for long, they can fly off by the time you blink your eye.

All the more reason for this sighting to be short of phenomenal.
