Field Notes

Description:

"This common bird will never be confused with another when seen at close range. Uniformly white, its orangish red face and down-curved bill are unique."

Habitat:

"The J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge is located on the subtropical barrier island of Sanibel in the Gulf of Mexico. The refuge is part of the largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystem in the United States. It is world famous for its spectacular migratory bird populations."

All the credit goes to Phil Wherry (see "Notes," above). Phil took some great photos that deserve to be shared with a wide audience like the Project Noah community -- I'm happy to be a facilitator!
