White-faced Ibis

White-faced Ibis (Plegadis chihi)

Taken at a desert wildlife sanctuary in central Nevada, This illustrates the benefit of having a long lens. This bird was at least a quarter mile away and I had no opportunity to get closer.

Pahanagat National Wildlife Refuge is a string of three small, natural lakes in the Great Basin area of Nevada. Sometimes it's pretty good for finding and photogaphing birds, other times not so much.

This is wonderful, especially with the distance. You've captured the iridescent colors just right. Great job.
