Ibis seekers --
I just received a phone call from Sam Dyke (at Truitt's Landing), that he
observed the previously reported White-faced Ibis this morning (Thursday,
05/06/99) around 9:15 am. He did not see it when first going down Truitt's
Landing Road, but on heading back west is flew from the pool area at the
northwest corner of the marsh (north of the road and just east of the main
woods). He saw it in flight only, and it disappeared behind the pine hammock
in the middle of the marsh south of the road. He noted that the white
encircled the eye, but did get a good look at the soft parts coloration.
This one is going to be difficult ...
