A White-faced Ibis is being seen near Fergus Falls in Otter Tail County. We
observed it today (Monday) from about 2:00 - 2:30.
>From Fergus Falls, travel west out of town on County Road 15. Follow this
meandering road about 3 or 4 miles until you see an old school house on the
right side of the road. Turn right (west) onto 210th Street (you'll go
right by the schoolhouse) and follow for 1/2 mile. The wetland favored by
the Ibis is on the south side of the road. As a reference, there's a farm
on the north side of road numbered #13819.
Beautiful bird in close proximity to road. White perimeter markings on face
are distinct. We took a few pics for verification.
Don't know who first spotted the bird, but Eddy Edwards contacted us.
Thanks, Eddy!
