There are six sacred ibis roosting on a rookery at the Caloosa Golf course. They flew in at 7:20 pm on Saturday, and at 7:25pm on Sunday. They feed for a time at the edges of the pond where the rookery is, and then fly into the bushes (buttonwoods and Florida holly, I think) that make up the rookery in the pond. There were a hundred or more birds, lots of cattle egrets in breeding plumage, snowy and great egrets, anhingas,black crowned night herons, tricolored herons. Two least terns were circling the area.Several birds were sitting on nests. And there were the sacred Ibis. Cool.
