Photo Study Of A White Ibis And Other Birds At E.B. Forythe NWR (Brig), September 26th, 2011

    Brig was fog-bound yesterday morning. The reported Yellow-headed Blackbird, Hudsonian Godwit and White Ibis were all there but the
    weather definitely limited the photo opportunities. As the day cleared up, I was able to photograph the Ibis and a bunch of other birds
    (there were more than twenty Black-crowned Night Herons, both adults and juveniles.) In any event, here are some of the photos:
