white ibises reported

•




Immature American white ibises (Eudocimus albus) are reported to be in Tennessee at the Dandridge Golf Course. Although considered rare in our state, both adult and immatures are regularly sighted. Here's an eBird MAP of recent observations. A reader sent me the two attached photos.

White ibises are wading birds found along the coastal areas of the South. The adults are pure white but the immatures are mottled gray and black with only a modest amount of white.  

If you live in the area and get a chance to check it out, let me know.
