The “Rainbow Bird”
Today’s post features the Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus). Walking among the water pools at Green Cay Wetlands, I found several of these birds busy foraging among the shallows: The last image shows the wonderful glossy irridescent bronze-green coloration of this bird, giving it it’s name.

In Search of a Lunker
Last week, I posted some images of a rare visitor to Squaw Creek NWR, a juvenile White-Faced Ibis (Plegadis chihi). Today, I’m sharing some images of this little guy fishing the refuge waters … and quite successfully! Online-Photography-Classes.com

A Rare Winter Visitor
How good at bird identification are you? Can you identify this recent visitor I found at Squaw Creek NWR in northwest Missouri? If you guessed “Ibis”, you are correct. But is this a juvenile White-Faced Ibis (Plegadis chihi) or a juvenile Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus)? There seems to be an […]
