Gerard Lillie, Richard Smith and I birded Malheur NWR today.
A Gray Catbird was at HQ.
We drove the Diamond Valley (often at 5 miles per hour) looking for Glossy
Ibises, and found one. Photos were taken. It is only the second of the
species I have seen in Oregon.
While in Diamond, a woman among three travelers asked about the dark birds with
the long drooping bills. We explained that they are White-faced Ibises. She
then asked if they are "meat birds". None of us could really understand and I
responded that they were not mean or aggressive. She said "no, meat bird, like
ducks". We discouraged their taking for consumption.
