House-hunting, apparently. Cattle Egret. Doing what cattle egrets do: communicating with cattle, even though these tend to be somewhat dull conversation partners. Black Kite. These photos were actually taken right from my hotel room. No surcharge for the room despite being perfect for birders. Black-necked Stork.

Shooting remains a major threat to this population, for the Italians are still passionately keen on hunting. On a visit in October 2022, I found ibises feeding with cattle in scruffy roadside paddocks adjacent to the marismas ( photographs below ). Here they were easy to overlook.

Quality time was spent with a friendly Hamar family at their homestead of grass huts surrounding their cattle corral.

Elizabeth Parker , the "chair man " (my emphasis) of the Animal Agriculture Alliance at CattleNetwork, which apparently is "The Source for Cattle News." Of course, Lobo is missing the point entirely. The HSUS isn't even anti-hunting ! And of course what we do is about the issues. We live our issues.

Of course, this raptor pattern baldness exists for a good reason, which is another of the distasteful aspects of vulturine biology. Vulture Hunts Down and Ravages Sea Turtles – Dale Forbes, 10,000 Birds. There’s no getting around the fact that they’re weird looking. Vultures famously feed on carrion. Dead things.
