Latest Tour of Our Local Marsh Birds (Or, I Gotta Get Out of Here!)

A few days ago we went on a drive to our nearby marsh, which is slowly but surely turning into desert. There are still some visitors and year-long residents willing to pose for photos. Hope you enjoy them.
The Common Raven, always amusing.

Lots of White-faced Ibis, faces just starting to turn white. This one is young.

A very nice set, Katy. Hope your marsh doesn't completely dry up.
Thanks, Ken. I hope not, too. But I am expecting a hot summer!

Mike, you got me humming the song, Dead Man's Party now--can't stop. Glad you liked the birds and thanks for reminding me of a song I used to love.

The colors on that young white-faced ibis are stunning! I've only seen them from a distance and they appear rather drab, but your photo shows different! THANKS!
