White-faced Ibis in Steele County
2018-10-31

Five or fewer records in Steele County for the Fall season

Seen in the wetland on 84th St. a mile north of Rice Lake State Park. It flew in while I was scoping some waterfowl and took off again after about 3 minutes of feeding. About 10" later I saw it flying over the wetland about a quarter mile from the road, so I think it may still be in the area. This photo is digiscoped and cropped.
