[mou] plegadis ibis absent from Brownsville/Wildcat Creek delta site

[fred lesher]

Yesterday, Nov. 1, the ibis was not present at the
Wildcat Creek delta site on the Mississippi R. south
of Brownsville in Houston Co. Fred Lesher, LaCrosse,
Wis.

I lead a Coulee Region Audubon Society trip Saturday
morning, tomorrow Nov. 3 south along the Mississippi
R. to Poole Slough on the Minn./Iowa border at New
Albin, IA. Meet at the Dresbach Information center &
Rest Area near Lock & Dam 7 on the Mississippi River
at 8:30 AM. 

We will look for the ibis near Brownsville. There
are/have been Sandhill Cranes on/near the Minn/Iowa
border at Poole Slough, which is a grassy wetland.

There is a raft of ten thousands of waterfowl, divers
& dabblers, a mile long & several hundred yards wide
on Pool 7. Most of these birds are in Wisconsin but
best viewed or only visible from Minnesota. There are
several hundred Tundra Swans, at least as many
American White Pelicans, and 60 +/- Bald Eagles on
Pool 7. Some of these swans, pelicans, eagles &
waterfowl are in Minnesota.
