Recently, I popped over to nearby Ted Phillips Wood Ibis Park to get a bit of fresh air. It was my first visit to the small neighborhood park in Gulfport.

I thought it amusing that there was a flock of American White Ibis (Eudocimus albus) loitering by the pond since the park was named for them. Well, it kind of was.

The artwork near the sign clearly depicts a White Ibis but the park name, Wood Ibis, was the common name once erroneously given to Wood Storks (Mycteria americana) which are not ibises. Get it? Got it? Good!
