Accidental Habitat
Juvenile White Ibis, Eudocimus albus, hip-deep in a drainage ditch just outboard of the western levee that protects my neighborhood from flooding. Ditch H is a long, straight, wide, deep, grassy conduit from our primary pump station into the Brazos River. Always has a little stream in the bottom, but spring rains keep it higher. Maybe a hundred large waders of various species feeding on crayfish that day.
