UTSW Rookery
Spring 2016 I started visiting the bird rookery at UTSW Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. It was my first time to see a rookery. In this gallery I am attempting to document what takes place in a rookery for each species of aquatic bird that comes here. It has been an amazing journey that I am sharing here. There are 8 species that nest here and I will divide them by species in the order that they show up.

Ibis Feeding
On the back of the rookery, there were several additional ibis nests but they were much further back in the rookery so very hard to see. I did get one usable shot of a parent feeding older nestlings back in there.
