2008 2016 Cattle Experience 
10,000 Birds
FEBRUARY 23, 2024
The Italian wintering grounds are the WWF Oasis Laguna di Orbetello, where in February 2016 I was delighted to meet the flock. Such an intimate encounter with one of the world’s rarest birds was a memorable experience. The ibises were initially trained to follow a microlight aircraft over the Alps. Here they were easy to overlook.

Smith Oaks is a migratory bird sanctuary owned and maintained by Houston Audubon, and the Rookery is a year-round bonus, full of Spoonbills, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Cattle Egrets, Neotropical Cormorants, Anhingas, Tricolored Herons and Black-crowned Night-Herons. This was the High Island Experience, I was told. It was amazing.
