Re: [IBLE] Glossy Ibis at Indian Creek reservoir, Ada Co

The group of 4-5 ibis were seen as late as 630 pm today, but no confirmation on glossy via initial optics. I have digiscope pics I will review and post the best for review by this community and on FB. The birds were seen in heavy weedy vegetation on central N bank of the reservoir. Seeming to prefer a very narrow stretch of open mud/water with thick tall weeds in the near field, all on far N bank. Best seen 200 yards E. of bathroom on top of cheat grass covered embankment.
Good luck, Rich, Nampa

There was a single juvenile ibis (presumably White-faced but ???) that stayed behind on the S shore – of course, that was 2+ hours ago and birds can fly so they’ve likely traded places a few times since then 🙂
