Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:06:19 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
This wildlife photograph captures a single glossy ibis foraging in the shallow wetlands of Yolo Bypass. The bird's distinctive curved bill is visible as it searches for invertebrates in the muddy substrate. The setting features a mosaic of shallow water, exposed mudflats, and emerging marsh vegetation, with deeper water and vegetation visible in the blurred background. The soft, overcast lighting creates a muted palette that emphasizes the natural wetland environment. The image was taken with a significant telephoto lens (100-500mm with 2x extender), allowing for distant observation without disturbing the bird.
