My dad and I just found a White-faced Ibis on the Captree Island marsh. The ibis flock was just flushed when firecrackers went off nearby, but the birds are regrouping and landing in the marsh.
The WFIB appears to be an immature with almost no white on its face, but the red facial skin is rather prominent. Good luck to those who come for it. Please respect all parking signs along Captree Island Rd as it is a private community.
