Glossy Ibis Foraging in Flooded Agricultural Field
Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 11:09:03 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A solitary dark bird, likely a Glossy Ibis, forages in a recently flooded agricultural field with stubble from harvested crops protruding from the shallow water and green grass. The bird's distinctive curved bill is visible as it searches for invertebrates in the muddy substrate. The background shows multiple water levels creating distinct zones - a green grassy foreground giving way to yellowish algae-covered water and deeper blue water beyond. The scene captures the intersection of agriculture and wetland ecology, typical of managed seasonal wetlands in California's Central Valley.
