Some ibises (ibii??) outside my bedroom window just now.
I love these guys.
They're not afraid of anything. They land in gangs in search of grubs residing in the dirt of my lawn.
I always hope that the grubs are ones that would otherwise turn into Japanese Beetles. Japanese Beetles that would chew the hell out of all my plants come next June.
We always wonder how they can sense them so quickly and easily.
Nature is some pretty interesting shit.

Oh my god now she is doing Latin too!
I love ibis (my feeling is the plural is ibis, kind of like sheep).
Ours are different species (black wings), Nature does throw up interesting shit. That is for sure!
That is so much fun! Best. Grub. Control. Ever.
Now that's organic pest control...and so much more exotic than chickens ;)
1. SO JEALOUS it makes my hair curl. COOL!!!!
2. Oh, yeah, re: nature being crazy interesting and always surprising. I just figure people who don't think biology/nature is fascinating just don't get it, yet.
3. =) I WANT YOUR BUG EATERS. (basically point # 1 again, but I'm still not over it)
Congrats, and I'm SO glad you appreciate them and SHARED them. yay. =)
Ibis. Mmm, I wonder what they taste like.
Grubicide sounds dirty ... in a good way.
Hey Momma (that's my pimp jive right there), wanna do some grubicide?
bet they're plastic
Wow - nature's bug control at its best. Gotta love it.
Al: Great idea!
Next meme will be 'Lewd Latin dies Lunae'!
Andrew: They've been hanging around all week. I'm hoping they'll stick around a little longer so I'll be junebug free next summer :P
Clare: Everyone has chickens, you know me, I like to stand out!
Bio: I was one of those nature non-appreciators until I hit my 20's. *hides*
IG: Sounds less like pimp jive and more like jive turkey :P
I bet they taste like chicken.
Everything tastes like chicken.
John: HA! That made me laugh :D
Jayne: That's what I do...organic, free-range ibis gardening. :P
Man, I wish they'd hang out here in Ohio if it meant they were eating up Japanese beetle grubs. I sure hate those things!
