An adult Ibis at a place in St. Augustine called the Alligator Farm. In the Spring the birds have decided it is a safe haven from predators like raccoons. There is a mutual aid society with the alligators in the pool below protecting them and at the same time the birds will occasionally provide the alligators with a feathery treat. It at least gives them excercise as they try mostly in vain to catch one. It is a wonderful place to photograph with hundreds of our marsh birds all around. A beautiful elevated walkway through the trees and over the pond provides photographer a rare unobstructed view of the mating rituals and the nest sites from which they can try to get far enough back to make use of their very expensive long distant lens.
