Early one morning we spotted these White Faced Ibis resting on a local lake. Not a common sight around here and within a half hours after taking this photo they flew off. I have yet to see them on this lake again.
For the next couple of weeks we will be posting some of our favorite posts from the past as we take a small respite from the digital world.

While driving some backroads a few weekends ago a small group of White Faced Ibis few right over the car and landed in a small pond next to the road. We pulled a quick U-turn and got a chance to observe these guys for awhile. Just like each of our previous Ibis encounters it was short lived as they preened for 10-15 minutes and then flew off. They are amazing birds and that plumage.
A group of white faced Ibises make a one night stand at the local pond. We only run across these guys once in a blue moon so it was indeed a pleasure to observe these guys feeding and refueling prior to take off for wetter lands further to the north.
