A breezy, but pleasant afternoon at Reifel today. A recent highlight was a White-faced Ibis seen on Friday. It was not reported until Saturday and has not been seen since. The Great Egret continues to visit the sanctuary, just not when I am there with my camera. It was fairly quiet on the birding front with the days entertainment happening around the tower.
A couple of Sora were showing well again today.
First up was this adult bird.
Not wanting to be outdone,
… this Virginia Rail also started foraging in view along the edge of the reeds.
This juvenile Sora was also active in the area with the three occasionally chasing each around. The Sora and Rail were also interacting with the Red-winged Blackbirds,
… which were also busy in the reeds and water. Fun times at the tower today.
