I often visit the Green Cay Wetlands and Nature Centre, as there, I can see multitudes of birds especially just before sunset when they are coming home to roost. (Click the image for a closer look.)
From a distance, it looks like the trees have a multitude of white blossoms, but on closer inspection, the white ‘flowers’ are revealed to be White Ibis.
Almost every available branch in the marsh is covered in birds.
Looks like Mr. GBH really has his hands full trying to keep this multitude of noisy Ibis in order, and settle them down for the night,
but you can definitely see who’s the boss.

What fabulous feathered blossoms.
Thank you. Yes, they are so lovely to see. 🙂
Lucky you!… although we’re seeing some geese and songbirds return at last.
Oh, Mr. GBH has his work cut out for him! Beautiful pictures!
Stunning pics as usual! 🙂
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
I don’t envy poor Mr.GBH one bit! 🙂
I think he certainly has sis work cut out to settle everyone down for the night. 🙂
beau-ti-fulllll – love the reflections too ❤
Thanks, Yvette. 🙂 xx
🙂
He does look as though he has everything in order.
Yes, he looks quite competent. 🙂
Wow, that’s a lot of birds! The heron is sooo beautiful. I love to see them fly. Fascinating! Have a great weekend! 🙂
Yes, I was amazed at how many birds there were. I love going there. 🙂
Beautiful, nicely captured, bird “island”. Scenes I like to see myself.
Thanks, Rommel. Glad you enjoyed. 🙂
Amazing!
Thanks, Madelaine. 🙂
Haha…Mr GBH looks so very proud and kingly, overseeing his flock! Love it 🙂 xx
He certainly does look like he’s ‘lording it’ over the smaller birds. 🙂
Beautiful, Sylvia! I especially love the last shot! How glorious are his wings? Stunning! Happy Friday to you, Sylvia😃💗💐💗😃
Thanks so much, Giana. 🙂
I love these captures Sylvia… brilliant…
Thanks, bulldog. Have a great weekend. 🙂
What a convention you have going on there Sylvia! Wow what lovely captures.
A bird convention indeed. Thanks Sue. 🙂
He’ll show them who’s boss! I’m fortunate enough to have a reserve similar to that around the corner from me…about 20mins. Iit’s lots of fun watching the birds….seeing what they get up to.
Ah, so you’re also a keen birdwatcher! Yes they are great fun to observe. 🙂
and they can be noisy as heck! still much better than people-noise, yuk!
How can you say that, with all the people noise on your music videos? 😀
hehe music is different – you can turn it off when you’ve had enough. but people – what can I say? I have swingers living next doors and the parties they have – it’s what nightmares are made off!
Goodness me!! 😯
I know! Maybe this explains why I make off-beat comments about neighbours?
There are so many of them!
Yes, I wouldn’t like to hazard a guess as to how many on each tree. 🙂
Wow, what an amazing sight and such beautiful captures! Love Mr. Heron there, he certainly looks like he’s in charge!
Thanks so much, Susan. 🙂
Excellent shots, he does stand out in the crowd..:-)
Thanks, Susan. Glad you enjoyed these. 🙂
They do look like blossoms. Very beautiful.
Thanks so much, Patricia. 🙂
What an invasion of a lot of birds.
Oh yes, and still they came. 🙂
It is interesting to see that many big birds come together like that and especially with different kind as a boss.
Yes I think so too, YC. Maybe size does count. 🙂
So serene and silent…
There was a lot of noise going on.:)
That’s one positive thing with pictures…
He’s in the third photo too right?
Yes, I do see a GBH there. I don’t think it’s the same one though. Obviously every Ibis dormitory needs an overseer who will stand for no nonsense. 🙂
The birdlife in FL is one of my favorite things about the sunshine state.
Oh yes, I so agree with you, Nancy. 🙂
Love the water reflections in the first and the big bird in the last. Lovely to see.
Thanks so much, Iris. 🙂
I never get tired of watching this birds!
They are so addictive, aren’t they? 🙂
Lovely sight. Das ist definitely vun ov der heronvolk!
Thanks, Col. Ja das ist sicher. 🙂
I like the reflections in the water.
Me too. 🙂
What a pretty sight. I’d wander out every evening at sunset to see this.
Thanks, Juliann. 🙂
The third image looks like a bouquet of birds!
You’re so right, RoSy. 🙂
That is an amazing sight, safe and secure for the night.
Yes it is really a wonderful sight, Roslyn. 🙂
Wow, what an amazing collection of birds. The picture is brilliant, especially enlarged. It would make a wonderful painting, Sylvia 🙂
Thanks, Sarah. Yes, I believe it would. 🙂
So how about having a go, Sylvia? I’m sure you could do a wonderful bird painting.
Maybe one day, when I’ve improved my bird painting skills. 🙂
Fantastic! I would so enjoy seeing this 🙂
Thanks, Ingrid. Yes you would. 🙂

You know what’s funny, when I caught first glimpses of your really beautiful photos I thought – bird bouquets, and now I saw that you called them white flowers too. This is a breathtaking site and captures did it justice. Thank you Sylvia 🙂 🙂
Thanks so much, Paula. These photos came into my mind as soon as I saw your challenge today. 🙂
This is a very happy blogging Thursday, Slyvia. Thank you, precious 🙂
Sylvia, I thought it was flowers in that bush. Beautiful birds.
Looking at your images … it looks like he is the only male in the bunch, so that’s why he are the boss I suppose. *smile – I think the girls let him be the boss.
Thanks, Viveka. Your comment made me smile. 🙂 xx
And your post and images, made me smile.
Larger wings and standing tall helps I see 😁
Yes indeed. The smaller birds would probably feel safer with Mr. GBH on guard. 🙂
With a beak like that! 😀
Wow, this is wonderful!
Thanks, Dawn. I really love going there. 🙂
I can certainly see why!
From a distance, they look like flowers. So beautiful, Sylvia!
Thanks, Jill. 🙂
You gave me a good clue, didn’t you? 🙂 🙂 Love Mr. Heron in his bossy boots role.
Thanks, Jo. Yes, I have obviously have a ‘bird brain’. 🙂
Oh, slightly more than that, I would say, Ad 🙂
Only slightly? 😕
Ah-ha! 🙂
