Puna Ibis have a long bill to probe in mud in creeks and flooded areas. They feed mainly on arthropods and invertebrates.
Helen Dishaw, Tracy Aviary`s Curator of Bird Programs, traveled to LA last week to see the (almost) finished clay version of Andy`s memorial sculpture that @AdamMatanoSculpture is creating. The sculpture will soon begin the mold and bronze process, and will arrive at Tracy Aviary mid-summer.
Join us on May 15 for our second Exploring Nature Speaker Series featuring Kate Lyngle-Cowand, is curator of exhibits at Tracy Aviary. Kate Lyngle-Cowand will discuss how she and her staff oversee the nutrition, health and even the social life of birds to support not only happy birds – but birds who successfully breed for healthier populations both in captivity and out in the wild.
This event is free with admission
When ducks sleep, they generally turn their heads to the back and tuck their beaks into their back feathers. This provides them a cozy and safe place to rest their head away from the water. Pictured here is a male ruddy duck. This species can be seen on Pelican Pond.
