I had the pleasure of adding another bird to the Yard list at my Mothers in
Cottonwood, Lyon county, this makes 231. I had just filled the bird feeders at
my Mothers place at 7:45 this morning when I was surprised to have an Ibis fly
by and fly to Sham Lake about 1/2 miles east of Cottonwood. I quickly drove
down to Sham and was able to get a good binocular look and a short Scope look
at the bird. Unfortunately a better look still only showed a dark Ibis. It
appeared to be an adult bird with glossy plumage but the fact I could not see any
white on the face still would not preclude a White-faced Ibis. After just a
few minutes it again took flight and headed southeast and I was not able to
follow it.
