    What Are These Guys?

    Got a little visit today. I have no idea what they are, but they drive the dogs crazy.

    Juvenile white ibis? Just a guess since we don't see too many in Wisconsin (especially this time of year)

      Here we call them city chicken, tastes a little like manatee.

          They look like sandpipers to me.

            Sandpipers are smaller with straight beaks.

                If all else fails, you can post a pic here and birders will look at it for you.

                  Young Ibis...always in a flock. Fully white when mature. Common in the Southern US. They do a good job cleaning the front yard of snails, slugs, worms, all the creepy crawlies.
                  They hang around by the canals and in the everglades, as they are also wading birds.

                    Mcrd, p.i.

                    Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, SC is home to thousands of these birds.

                      These look like storks to my untrained eye.
