This is my third post from this location - first was on roseate spoonbills, second was herons. Here are some ibises and egrets. Top photo will take you to the Flickr album.

Great photos, and you've got some wonderful BIF on your photostream! I'm in Tampa but not familiar with the location you've mentioned, but it looks like a target rich environment!

You have to get on a flat boat at Williams park boat ramp and go out about 20 minutes or so into the bay. It's quite a rich environment . Here is the Flickr album that collects all my pix taken on a single morning this week. https://flic.kr/s/aHskwzuUVs

Correction on location name: Alafia banks, not Alafia flats. Alafia river empties into the bay nearby. The banks are a series of small mangrove islands accessible only by pontoon boat.
