It isn’t too late to see and photograph White-faced Ibis at Farmington Bay WMA in northern Utah because there are still a few of them hanging around despite the frigid temps during the nights and mornings.<\/p>\n

\"White-facedWhite-faced Ibis with frost on its tail – Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/640, ISO 800, -0.3 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of the White-faced Ibis have migrated to warmer climes but there are times I see this species until late December and once in a while into early January.<\/p>\n

I photographed this White-faced Ibis four days ago as it foraged in early morning light while it still had frost on its tail from the frigid overnight temperatures. The frost and low temps didn’t seem to affect the ibis at all as it walked around in the cold water dipping its bill repeatedly into the mud below the surface while searching for prey. These ibis may hang around until the water ices over or they may leave next week, you just never know what might make these stragglers decide to leave, until then I’ll take photos of them while I can.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
