A Day in Lakeland with Friends

We had a great day today in Lakeland with Reg and Janice, Dick and Marilyn, and then Jo and Eric joined us.  Lunch at Appleby's, a walk in a park, a visit at Dick and Marilyn's beautiful home.

Jo and Eric were lawn bowling at the same park where we went to walk after lunch out. 

This little guy is one of my favorite birds - a Little Blue Heron. 

This beautiful bird has 2 names.  It is know as a Common Gallinule, and the male and female look basically the same.  It is also known as a Moorhen. 

I love this picture of  an America Coot.  My favorite picture of today.

This is a White Ibis, aka Florida Chicken.

There were LOTS of Ibis in this park. 

I'm always surprised to see them roosting in trees.
