LAGUNA MADRE TEXAS HOODIE

White Ibis At The Edge of Laguna Madre @Debra Martz Where the blue waters of the Laguna Madre meet the lush vegetation of the brackish marshes, this Ibis appeared to be surveying for potential food sources. Their elongated bills are often caked in mud from foraging, but this particular one appeared to have recently tidied itself.

Black Skimmer @Debra Martz I was standing on the end of a boardwalk that extends into the Laguna Madre watching a Reddish Egret when this Skimmer appeared. It made several circles in the area before moving on a little north. The strange, uneven bill of the skimmer has a purpose: the bird flies low, with the long lower mandible plowing the water, snapping the bill shut when it contacts a fish.
