This bird isn't always sleeping. Several people have observed it on 
the pond on the east side of the road and gotten good photos.

Even though the duck has been staying in these two small seasonal 
ponds, last night a group of us were discussing how long it would be 
around and what would happen to this duck that showed up in northern 
Wisconsin well north of its normal range.

With perfect timing, a new video taken by an ornithology class viewing 
a vagrant White-faced Ibis recently in Massachusetts was posted on 
Youtube. The class happened to be in the area when this ibis was first 
discovered. Word of its presence was just beginning to spread through 
the MA birding community at the time this video was taken.

As a videographer I am usually frustrated when people are talking in 
the background while I am taking video, but in this case I think the 
captured audio actually helps document this situation well.
