Birds and fun at Jerra Wetlands & feather ID

["Philip Veerman" <>]

And you can see on it that they have given a clear impression of the ragged inner secondary feathers, which are a match to the feather that John asked about.

 

Curiously the field guides describe that feature in the text and show it on the pictures of perched birds although it is not shown on the birds in flight.

That "White Ibis" would certainly give kids nightmares... and I definitely could see it in a horror film...

I hope those white ducks didn't get left there.
