June 4, 2003
Great River Road MM #19
Dyer Co. TN
When Frank Fekel and I watched the Glossy Ibis fly up from feeding and meet 
another dark Ibis last Saturday, the two birds circled once and they quickly 
went separate ways. I said the other bird was probably a White-faced Ibis. If 
it 
had been another Glossy I would think they would have stayed together. 

Well, Ken Leggett, Glen Criswell and Nancy Moore have just located (1:15 PM) 
a White-faced Ibis feeding at mile marker #19 on the Great River Road in Dyer 
Co. It just gets better and better up that way..............

If you listed, 11- Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, 9 Fulvous Whistling Ducks, 
both Glossy and White-faced Ibis, breeding plumaged Tri-colored Heron, 
multiple Bald Eagles plus American White Pelicans, Black Duck, a Basic plumaged 
American Golden-Plover, Willet, Ruddy Turnstone, Black Terns, Eurasian 
Collared-Dove, with Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Least Bittern, Black-necked 
Stilt and 
Blue-winged Teal nesting, all from one small area in the first week of June; 
one 
would be hard pressed to guess where the list came from and NW Tennessee would 
probably not be high on the list.

Good Birding!!!
