White Ibis #2 (juv) by Steve Gifford

            Here's my idea of a great morning: First, get up early to go look for shorebirds but instead find a White Ibis.  Next, slowly and silently sneak 1/4 mile through muck, trees and cobwebs to the best concealed spot I can find in a thicket of willows just off the edge of the remaining pool of water.  Last, grab camera and lay down in aforementioned hot, humid muck and wait for Ibis to wander into range for a good shot.

Fortunately the Ibis cooperated and over the next two hours came within 40-50ft several times to forage and preen.  Apparently this bird was spotted a few days earlier by Jay Lehman and has continued to hang around since then.  I am amazed and thrilled that this is now the second White Ibis currently in SW Ohio, the first continuing to reside at Englewood Park in Dayton.

The Ibis was still present when I left at 11:30am.
