BOTD: White-faced Ibis
Photo: Jeff Flinn
"Very similar to the Glossy Ibis, and mostly replaces it west of the Mississippi River, although the two species occur together in parts of the southeast. White-faced Ibises wander through the west during the warmer months, and they may quickly find and take advantage of temporary new habitat after rains or flooding. Even their nesting sites often change from year to year with changes in local water levels."

As the storm started to blow in, most of the birds went into hiding. This Ibis was determined to finish its meal. The wind was ruffling it’s feathers and the water got really choppy. It was a little funny to watch as it got pushed around a bit by the wind.

Watercolor painting in top of a ink drawing of a White-faced ibis that got really close to me at my city’s local aviary.
