The calm before the storm...

Wildlife is an interesting thing when it comes to weather phenomena..er..pheonemena...er...well, you get what I'm saying.
A whole flock of ibis ('ibi'?) came to our lake, probably to ride out the storm.

A young ibis. I watched him hopping up and down, like he was practicing catching a small fish.
Several ibis were in the tree, sleeping. I counted six, but there were likely more (three..or more...are pictured here...).
A small turtle and two fish are pictured here. One is crossing over the white pipe that is underwater in the top-middle of the photo. It's a large catfish. The other one is just beneath it...but I wasn't sure what time it was.
