Since I have been skunked to-date on getting photos of Ibis at Walden Ponds, I went out to the north shore of the Rez this afternoon/evening for a quick peek. Quite a few birds hanging around, although not as birdy as before the storm. My highlights:
White-faced Ibis (about 125-150) along the NW shore in the protected area Osprey Bald Eagle Red-Tailed Hawk Kestrels Loggerhead Shrike Am. White Pelican Coots Mallards Northern Shovelers Western Willets Marbled Godwits LB Dowitchers Killdeer Greater Yellowlegs Lesser Yellowlegs Wilson's Phalarope Eastern Bluebird Common Grackles Juncos White-Crowned Sparrows Barn Swallows Yellow-rumped Warbler Boatloads of Robins and Red-Winged Blackbirds I may have spotted a Lazuli Bunting, but it was a very fast peek so I am not sure... I *am* sure I missed a lot as I was focused on the Ibis, other shorebirds, and the pretty little shrike... All in all, a good time at the Res.
