    It’s an Ibis. When we visited Aus a few years ago I was amazed by them as they are big old birds for a city centre. My brother lives in Brisbane and was fairly dismissive of them. He said that they were basically Aussie pigeons🤷

    I yelled at the squirrel for digging holes in my grass, he gave me the universal “ kiss my ass” gesture “

    there's an owl's next across my back lane in my neighbour's yard, at the very top of the tree, about 75 feet up. I once heard him hooting one evening. I went out and could see his eyes. Only time I've ever seen/heard him. Very cool. Love owls.

    Now I have to make sure it gets back to the pond safely after she lays eggs. Just got off a 12 hr overnight shift. What's a few more hours.
    Would hate to see a car run over it.

    Watch for turtles everyone.

    Nice job! She looks big! Found this guy in my neighborhood, he surprised me and I nearly ran over him. I stopped the car to go grab him. Delivered him down to the forest area near our neighborhood pool. Plenty of trees and running water.

    Nice work! I don't see too many box turtles like that. 

    Next time, the experts recommend  to just move it to a safe spot in the direction it is heading.
    Once I moved a turtle off my lawn to a pond up the road from me. 
    The next day, it came all the way back!

    It was on a mission to lay eggs here. 

    So they seem pretty attached to certain areas.

    I hope this sucker finishes up soon!

    It's raining and the neighbor's probably are wondering why I have a chair set up on the sidewalk :/
