A birder on the Tennessee Birding Facebook page just posted a photo of 4
Plegadis Ibis found on Discovery Drive, Chattanooga at 1230 pm today (8 Oct
13). Photo appears to show a red iris on two individuals, suggesting
White-faced Ibis. The location is on the VW property, but I am not sure if it
is open to the public.
Location: Take I-75 to exit 7 (Bonny Oaks) west or Exit 9 for VW drive and go
west and Discovery Drive is off VW Drive. Lat-long of the location: 35.07504,
-85.1464 (copy paste this into your favorite mapping program like Google Maps).
If I get more info on the location or access, I'll post. Feel free to join the
Tennessee Birding Facebook page and see the photo and follow at your leisure.
A Glossy Ibis was reported from Brainard Levee in Chattanooga via eBird last
week, but I hadn't heard any details about this sighting other than a brief
description of the bird that didn't mention eye color.
Cheers,
Scott Somershoe
