Who Knew Fishing Could Be Such Dirty Work?
It seems that a couple of hours of chasing shrimp and fish around the marsh can get a bird’s feathers all mussed up.
The solution apparently involves a nice vigorous bath. Not only were the spoonies involved in the bathing process, but at one point a White Ibis joined in as well.
I must say it’s a vast improvement, they all looked quite spiffy after bath time was over.

They really did seem to enjoy themselves and it appeared as if the younger birds were learning from the more mature birds. Some things never change. 🙂
