Glossy Ibis at Middle Creek Wildlife Area 

Yesterday, July 6, I decided to visit Middle Creek Wildlife Area to do some birding. As I drove into the area, I noticed a taller darker looking bird moving thru the high grass in the now 'flooded' pond - from last night thunderstorm's.

I pulled over, and glassed the bird - it turned out to be a Juvenile Glossy Ibis (see picture below from M Shull). As several more people arrived after I posted the find, there was some discussion of this being a Juvenile White Faced Ibis - those discussions remain indeterminant and are still ongoing - if this changes I will update this post..as this would be a mega rare bird for our area.

Until next time - Good Birding
