A White-faced Ibis is still being seen near Fergus Falls in Otter Tail County. We observed it today (Tuesday) from about 2:00 - 2:30.
Today the bird was on the south side of the wetland, not on the road side. He was "fraternizing" with 4-5 egrets and seemed very comfortable, while the egrets would fly and then return to their spot. White perimeter markings on face are distinct. We took a few more pics for verification. Directions once again: >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. Get out there and see this bird! Sandy and Dan Thimgan Otter Tail County -- Thimgans >^. .^<
