In a recent thread, the topic of bird fly-bys came up, and I mentioned that we have a splendid view of a bird commute from approximately mid-January through March each year. During that time, flocks of White Ibises fly west along the river just after sunrise and east around sunset — thousands daily.
We call the start of the evening rush hour “Flock O’Clock” and make sure we’re on the porch or in the boat to watch. If it’s a large flock, sometimes the wings sound like a waterfall. I took the above video at sunset from the jon boat with my phone. Can’t remember if I shared it here or not. If so, please pardon the rerun.
Open thread!
