Morning at Pintail (4)


Today is the final post of content from a morning in August at Pintail Lake, just north of Show Low in east-central Arizona. All shots White-faced Ibis (non-breeding plumage) unless noted otherwise.

Pintail Lake area – dry conditions
White-faced Ibis
Virginia Rail

As mentioned in previous posts, due to dry conditions and/or a problem with the reclaimed water supply from town, much of the lake complex was dry, e.g.:

Dry lakebed
Virginia Rail II
Virginia Rail III
Virginia Rail IV
More dry-ish lakebed
Virginia Rail V
Virginia Rail & mixed birds
Redheads (f)
Ruddy Ducks

Sad to reach the end of Pintail Lake, but there’s more White Mountains + Arizona content to come!
