WELCOME TO IBIS BEACH

It may look like a nice sandy beach where the gentle Ibis like to hang out but it's actually Corn Mountain. The Ibis have trampled the corn out so it resembles a larger, sort of, beach, and they delight in sunning there.

This has led to "the ducks" who EAT Corn Mountain, to discover new wiley ways of hanging around with the Ibis in order to be allowed to "eat the beach".

Thanks to Mary and Tractor Supply Co. the beach gets a fresh 50-pound sack of cracked corn, in a new location each week. This keeps the birds engaged trying to find the nom and it keeps their foods from spoiling.

I just looked out the window and shot this picture of these shy little characters hanging around outside. If you zoom in you can see several are balanced on one leg with the unused leg tucked up underneath.

This is also unique and never before, it's a small Great Egret exploring where the Ibis are hanging, it's always changing at P2.
