Plegadis chihi
Big blackish waterfowl. Long, curved bill. Zoom in on them and they have beautiful irradescent feathers.
Little marsh where water runs off a wheat field.
Dont know what the birds in the background are either!
Thanks JenKnight, I live about 200 yards from this marsh! Just have to be careful wading through the wheat, rattlesnakes are out!
Cody: good call on the white-faced ibis, I was thinking glossy but you made me look closer.
Evelyn: looks like you're having a great trip!
The closest birds are White-faced Ibis, next row back is the Black-necked Stilts, behind that is a bird from the family recurvostridae, the American Avocet in lovely alternative plumage!
