White-faced ibis are found throughout much of North America, traveling in small flocks and feeding in wet areas. During the breeding season their white 'face' becomes quite bright, exposed skin turns brightly colored, and the feathers assume a striking irridescense, as seen in some of these images. Young birds lack the white face of breeding adults that gives the species it's name; winter adults are less striking than during breeding season. I took these photograph at the ponds at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area near Riverside, California. |
