With
shiny wings showing metallic green, bronze and violet colors, the glossy ibis
is a nomadic wading bird that travels across the Sahara Desert. It favors
marshes near lakes and rivers, where it can find larval insects for food. An
amateur photographer, He Yu, captured them in the wetland park on the Hanjiang
River.
"I
always take pictures along the river, and I captured three black birds here. I
asked other people whether those birds are crested ibises, and why they have
black feathers. I posted the pictures online, and experts confirmed that it is
the first time the glossy ibises were found in Hanzhong," said He.
