White Ibis 6/21

[Luke Pheneger]

Hi all,

At 7:07 pm while stuck in traffic my mom and I had the luxury of having the White Ibis fly about 100 feet over our car while merging onto I-70 luckily we had our binoculars ready and were able to get as good of looks as we would hope from sitting in the car. The bird was heading South East, and talking to the other birders at the ponds they said that it flew off just a bit earlier. If it doesn't show up back at the ponds later today or tommorow, checking those lakes and ponds South East from Clear Creek Valley Park might be a good idea. We checked the other ponds around Clear Creek such as Lake Sangraco and Jim Baxter Reservoir but it hadn't shown up there. But there were a few Cattle Egrets roosting at Lake Sangraco.

Good Birding,

Someone should try Cherry Creek State Park. Cottonwood Creek Wetlands seems appropriate for the bird.
