Hurray! For the second time I've joined in the Outdoor Hour Challenges over at the Handbook of Nature Study! We're on a roll here - LOL! The second challenge is entitled - Using Your Words and I found a bit of timely advice -

"Nature study is for the comprehension of the individual life of the bird, insect, or plant that is nearest at hand."

Taking this advice, I continued with my daily observations of the flock of ibis that frequent the waters beyond the beach behind the boat.



An individual ibis.



My Notebook page on the White Ibis. I followed the assignment to come up with - One word to describe something I heard, Two words for something I saw, and Three words for something I felt. The result is a nice little poem of sorts.
Splashing
Dabbling, Swaying
Cool Wet Sand

I rounded off the assignment with the optional journal entry, giving some info on the habits of ibis.



Marianna did a fantastic portrait of a Little Green Heron in one of my favorite poses. Isn't it great? I do love Little Greens. :)
