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:
