It's not unusual to see a white ibis here in Florida but it's still a thrill to see one in your backyard.
We live on a golf course and I'm pretty sure this beautiful white ibis was planning an afternoon round of golf! (he's just off to the left of this photo, not quite ready to tee up! I should have 'photo shopped' him in! lol)
Can I get a little closer please?
Oh, excuse me for sneaking up behind you!
Isn't it fun to see the unexpected in your own backyard?
Have a wonderful weekend!
I’m joining Saturday’s critters HERE

Hello, you have a great yard bird there. I love the White Ibis. Your backyard is beautiful. Lovely views.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
Happy weekend. I am always thrilled when we see wild turkeys, they are so beautiful.
Expecting a freeze tonight but I am going to buy some cooler weather herbs today, I miss cooking with them fresh from the garden during the winter.
Hugs to all.
How great it is to be so close to nature! I love seeing the Ibis, XOXO
Great photos! I love that bird!
hugs,
Linda
I once saw a bear and a "troop" of armadillos neither of which I wanted in my yard! LOL!
Hi. I'm visiting from 'Viewing nature with Eileen,' and found a fellow Floridian. I hail from Tampa...love showing off the flora and fauna around. Look forward to following you. Cheers. -Mac
I would be thrilled by a sight like this as well! Have a lovely weekend as well.
What a nice surprise Diane. Regarding your comment on my recent post about the sugar bush I have extra boots and coats and scarves should you come for an adventure. :) You won't need them from June to October though. Come on up for a visit anytime! Hugs. Pam
like the photos.
Wow! Thanks for posting!
Florida has such wonderful birds! You got some great pictures of your Ibis!
I would be especially surprised to see an ibis in our back yard ;) Wonderful captures of this beauty.
Afternoon, like ve the pictures of the green grass and pretty Ibis.Blessings Francine.
This is marvelous!!! A beautiful backyard scene of the golf course, AND a wonderful, in breeding plumage, white ibis!! Lovin' it.
Thank you so very much for sharing and adding your link for us birders at I'd Rather B Birdin' this weekend. Your participation is always appreciate.
i love these quirky birds. they stop in here in the fall sometimes. :)
What a wonderful visitor, Diane. The curved red beak is a dangerous looking thing. He might be a great opponent on the golf course.
The only way I know about the Ibis is through the crossword puzzles. Have never seen one but your photographs are great. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool bird! You don't see that kind around here.
warmly,
deb
He's handsome!! I sure love seeing all your green grass... we're still waiting for things to "green up" here...
Oh my - what a surprise - and what a majestic bird. I'd love to see one - you have such wonderful wildlife. Your header is gorgeous - and I sure would have liked to see that big white bird hit a golf ball on the golf course. Lovely lovely views. See you Wednesday my dear - it is going to be fun fun fun. Big surprises coming.
That ibis knows you love critters and was just paying you a friendly visit. Enjoy Sunday.
What a wonderful view you have complete with wildlife! I have never seen an ibis before. He is so majestic! I know you were thrilled to host this visitor.;-)
Beautiful bird
Beautiful scenes
All the best Jan
A fun guest. Lucky you.

How fun. I just love it when critters come around. Lately it's been a skunk or two here. :)
They are handsome in their breeding colors this time of year! The Sandhill family is back on our golf course this week!
Oh my, what an unusual looking bird, and to see this in your back yard! Florida sure has its share of unique birds. This one is spectacular! I wonder if its long beak gets in the way of things hehehe.
