I saw the immature White Ibis around 11:45 A.M. on the larger pond on the north
side of highway 163 in McMinn County. The Clendenens described the location
well in their post from 7/16/16. There is ample room to park on the side of the
highway. From there I went on to Athens and had a great lunch. About 2 P.M. as
I traveled back south on I-75, I stopped at the pond again. This time I saw one
immature Yellow-crowned Night Heron, and one Green Heron. I didn't see the ibis
again, but it might have been in a corner I couldn't see. I didn't see any
birds on the smaller pond on the south side of highway 163.
