My weekend started early on Friday when I visited a wildlife refuge in the 
northern part of California's central valley, where I found

White-faced Ibis:

and the smaller Ross's Goose:

All refuge photos: R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R, 1.4x APO-Extender-R.  A 
goose was Photoshopically removed from the second Ibis photo.  AP can fire 
me but they'd have to hire me first.



I've also set up a bird feeding, bathing and watering area in my yard which 
produced the desired results:
