Innocent Bystander
White Ibis, Eudocimus albus. Drooling with anticipation? Perched on the observation deck in Wetlands at Riverstone--a tiny, lovely, wholly artificial wildlife and botanical refuge, which was surely mandated by local flood control requirements for construction of new residential and commercial development. The bird and the pond are both perched high above neighboring Steep Bank Creek.
Bears in the woods do it, birds do it, neither can be blamed for human interruption and replacement of natural recycling systems and habitats. Hope you will pause for a moment to ponder humanity's role in our shared ancestor, the biosphere.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
