An immature White Ibis kicked off the wading bird season at

Paddle Creek Pond in eastern Sullivan County, TN Friday, 10 July 2015.

I found the bird as it was feeding in the grass along the shore between

the duck blind and road. At 2:55 p.m. it took flight towards the dam,

circled very high and departed towards the river. This is a rare summer

species for Northeast Tennessee with only a few records for June or July.
