White-faced Ibis
Plegadis chihi
Feb. 16 Los Banos WMA, Merced Co., Calif : 140 at their usual location along the SE edge of the refuge,
being harassed by Snowy Egrets (see under Snowy
Egret). I still feel this is the most beautiful
bird in California - the incredible array of
iridescent colors in the sunlight is really
spectacular.
