White-faced Ibis - II.
On Wednesday I got a shock when I entered Bear river refuge.
I didn't see anymore American avocets.
The place were they used to hang around dried up completely.
For the first time I realized that I know NOTHING about desert.
Ibises also were gone. Where they used to be there was no water at all.
Little oasis of water turned into dry cracked soil.
I found ibises further on another little oasis of water which by now probably also dried up.
Desert can be unmerciful and harsh.

Some news for May.
In May all gang will be there.
The breeding birds will be into nesting.
The majority of northbound migrant shorebirds and song birds have already departed.
Beautiful bird! The colors are so unusual.
ReplyDeleteA moment surprised at the right time. A rare image - first foto.
ReplyDeleteAlso, images 3 and 4 have their poetry - the bird seems to draw on the water, and even it is drawn on the reflection water.
Bellas capturas, Kaya, muy bien hechas, con una nitidez y colores muy bien conseguidos.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
