Preening White-faced Ibis
One of the places where these White-faced Ibis can be seen fairly locally is Frank Lake or, as in this photo, at a slough a short drive from Frank Lake.
On 6 July 2015, the weather forecast looked good for that area. However, when I got there, the sky was overcast, the distant Rocky Mountains had completely disappeared, and the light was not good for taking photos, as can be seen in this rather grainy shot. For some reason, all the birds at Frank Lake, including the Ibis, were unusually active, which didn't help!
There were three things that I thought I would try and photograph - yellow Canola fields, any kind of bird sitting on a fence post with Canola behind it, and an Eared Grebe with young ones on her back. Managed the first two, but there was just the one Grebe near the blind but too far to really photograph when she had a single baby on her back. I was lucky, though, to find several close White-faced Ibis at a slough NE of Frank Lake, one of which is seen in this photo. Caught this one through my rolled-down car window and just managed to catch the light shining on those gorgeous, iridescent feathers.
"A dark wading bird with a long, down-curved bill, the White-faced Ibis is a western replacement for the Glossy Ibis. Similar in appearance and habits, the two species can be distinguished only by slight differences in coloring of the face and legs. From AllAboutBirds.
In the book, "Birds of Alberta" by Fisher & Acorn, it says that, in Alberta, White-faced Ibis are very rare from May to September. Length is 22-25" (56-64 cm), wingspan 3'1" (94 cm).
