Wetland Birds

Birds of wetlands other than ducks and shorebirds. This Ibis was near Tamora NE.

There was a group of 6-8.

Coots at Holmes Lake

Snowy Egret, Pioneer's Park

Sometimes you get gulls and ducks, but in shallow water, just the shore birds.

Black-crowned night heron

Sandhill cranes

It's a Whooping Crane. The camera I had was not very good.

American White Pelicans, both pictures. Nests in Dakotas on remote puddles.

Around wetlands, sometimes in the cattails itself, you find Marsh Wren. As well as the sedge wren, which may also nest on drier meadows.

Sedge wren, Frank Shoemaker marsh.

Flying low over wetlands, Forster's tern. Also on migration, we get black tern, no photo located.
