Beobachtungsdetails

Immature, miserable digi-binned photo attached. From my blog - Dawn coincided with the low tide that day, so I arrived at first light and made my way to the river’s edge. It was not yet dawn when I arrived to find lots of mud, but no birds. In the dim light I noticed something big sitting on a dead snag in the marsh – it was an immature White Ibis! Even some of the common waders can be tough in DC – let alone a rarity like a White Ibis. It gave great views even in the dim light. On my way back into the park I passed by where I had the Ibis and it was feeding on the mud close nearby.
