Karl and Kathleen Nichter Photography



This blog began in 2009, about a year after we started our photography business. People attending our photo exhibits, or our hikes and workshops, asked for details on where we traveled for photography. As naturalists we usually kept a field journal, so we used that as a basis for Field Notes.
In Summer, 2014 we took a break from the blog because our business, and lives were changing. In January 2015 the blog restarted with an expanded theme. It now contains photography, notes, and articles from all of our travels and all of our photography, not just nature themed. The posts prior to 2014 have been archived.

For more information, please click on "About Us" below.

Thank you for visiting.

Glossy Ibis Perched in a Tree

While birding this week we saw several Glossy Ibis. At one point, some of them flew and perched in a nearby tree, joining a Little Blue Heron who decided he didn't want the company and left. I photographed three of them, first sitting there and then preening. I found out later that apparently perching in a tree is not normal behavior for the Glossy Ibis.


We walked on continuing our bird count, so I can't say for sure how long they remained in the tree.
