Guest appearance from a flock of Ibises

By
Real Estate Agent with Versailles Property DRE 01791487,​NMLS1884138

Many ibises dropped by our spot in University Park yesterday. They were having a blast munching on breakfast in the rain, ignoring any cars rolling by. They were somewhat shy but didn’t mind me snapping a few pics. I usually spot them hanging out at the Duckpond near the IRWD plant, but seeing them in front of my home was a cool change of pace. I checked the bushes around that area; no one laid any eggs. Maybe they were all boys. Beats talking about annoying e-bikers in Irvine every day.

Happy Easter Sunday!

It is a big deal for city rats like me!

Dennis Neal, You guys have a large collection of visiting birds at Big Bear; I saw this the first time, and it was really exciting.

I would be very alarmed if I found a flock of these birds in my yard.  Pretty sure we don't have any here.

Joan Cox Yes, we have a limited wild life, so I get exited like a seven year old. Thanks for stopping by.

Really nice shot, Deepak! My home in in a neighborhood surrounded by parkland, and we do get foxes and a lot of deer, but never anything like your Ibises!

Patricia Kennedy, I feel privileged; I am going to notify their king or queen to send the pink ones to my area next time.

Great capture of the flock and better for sharing the photos with us as well. Mother Nature offers so much and few stop to appreciate.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754. Sure, it was the first time I saw them for my 20+ years in Irvine; I liked them on their FB page!

That would have been a fun site to see, especially if they don't normally walk in front of you!

When I first tread your title line, I imagined "Ibises" to be mythical creatures from a new science fiction movie.  I don't believe I've ever seen an Ibis before.  I don't recall ever see their name.

Myrl Jeffcoat, Haha, I never saw them so close, especially right in front of my home. This was my first attempt to take pics with my brand new iPhone 15 Pro Max, and they came out good. I am glad lot of people noticed it.
