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!
