Feeding the birds

The other day, we took Isaac to feed the ducks over at a nearby park. Last time we took him here, he was a little bit to small to understand what was going on, but this time he was an eager participant!
The seagulls are always quick to form swarms and dive towards any food that flies from our hands. They even try to steal it from the ducks who are out on the water. They are very aggressive! Isaac was excited to see and hear them as they squawked and darted around.

Isaac fed some pigeons. We don't remember ever seeing pigeons at this park, at least not big groups of them wanting to be fed. These pigeons only hung around for a little while.
Jason and the seagull . . . perfect timing! I LOVE this photo!! It was really cool watching the seagulls swooping down closer and closer, until this one little guy got brave enough to rip the bread right out of Jason's hand.

At one point, we looked up and saw a huge flock of these white ibis. They must have been on a migration path. They settled down in a field on the other side of the park. After we finished feeding the ducks, we decided to go try to get a closer look at the ibis.





After we photographed the ibis flock, Isaac tested out the playground equipment. He really loves tunnels!
