After several minutes of this deep water foraging behavior, this White-faced Ibis made its way toward me into more shallow water Posed for a little while, and then began to preen I’m glad I took the time to visit Colusa National Wildlife Refuge on this day. You never know what you might see! Get yours today! Beautiful bird.

This Peregrine close-up courtesy of Larry Jordan. The move, which seems limited to just California, is meant to protect endangered shorebirds which have become favorite meals of the raptors.

Sales of duck stamps have funded the preservation of wetlands and other wildlife habitat, which in turn has supported an increase in waterfowl populations. Eventually, the pigeons, as it were, may come home to roost and the waterfowl and other wildlife, as well as hunters and bird watchers, will be sitting ducks.

I briefly entertained the idea that I had found a rare species never before seen in New York but quickly came to my senses and realized that I was dealing with a leucistic individual. Fish & Wildlife comes in response to a lawsuit brought by the Center for Biological Diversity. I for one missed it. Do you think it is the female?

It may be as sick as deliberately targeting an endangered species for death. Birders know that the light’s not always perfect or even particularly good when you’re trying to tell one species from another. So we can squawk at the state wildlife departments all we want, but the USFWS has the final say. The big white one.

In southern Africa, there are two species. I too am fascinated by the name of this species. Larry Jordan Mar 21st, 2011 at 12:31 am Awesome photos Redgannet! Frank Mar 22nd, 2011 at 8:02 pm Awesome images of a species that looks somewhat prehistoric. How do we know this? Feeling lazy, or I would do the research myself.)
