The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

Ibises are also funny looking

Especially when they are flying

You can tell they are ibises because their beak turns down

Except for the pink ones, they have straight spoonbills.

This is a green ibis

He was shy

This is a fishing bare faced ibis

That’s a weird name because all ibises have bare faces.

We should just make up our own names, we would be better at it. AI says this is a crow.

There are lots of other heron in the Pantanal, not just the famous ones.

Some look really cool and unique, like this capped heron.

This is a baby Rufescent Tiger Heron

The adults are funny looking too.

This is a striated heron

This is a little blue heron

Even though he’s way taller than the striated heron

He’s pretty skinny though.

There are also cattle egret, which are invasive

And great egret, which are not.

Caiman are pretty ferocious looking.

If I were a bug, I would stay away.

I certainly wouldn’t crawl around in a caiman’s eyes.

Or perch on its nose.

But Kerri is not a bug.

She’s not afraid of Caiman

Even when there are lots of them.

And some of them are camouflaged really well.

The heron thought she was crazy.

But that cute little caiman wouldn’t hurt a fly!

This guy has lettuce in his teeth, he must be vegetarian!

I don’t know where the blood near his eye came from, but I’m sure it’s his.

The Jabiru storks have some very noisy neighbours in their basement.

The parakeets just move right in to the bottom of the nest

Hanging upside down from the rafters

Throwing loud parties all of the time

They aren’t very good neighbours

I would kick them out if I was a stork.
