When I was driving home from work at 6:00 pm tonight, I had a brief
glimpse of a "strange" looking bird in flight. This was on Normandale
Blvd, right as the creek leaves Normandale Lake. It was large, dark
bird that flew directly in front of my car at a low altitude. At first
I thought it was a Great Blue Heron, but I didn't think the neck looked
right. I also noticed that the wing beats were really rapid. I don't
remember ever having a good look at the bill. I am not at all familiar
with ibises, but that was the general impression that I got. I thought
I should post here in case any locals want to check it out. It looked
like it was going to land in the marshy area across the road to the East
from the lake.
