While birding in Grant county today, with Rick Specht we observed two
immature White-faced/Glossy Ibis at the Spink WPA. The birds were observed
only in flight, then landed out of sight in the Marsh on the North side of CR
34/170th St. We observed the birds in flight in on both sides
of CR 34 for about a minute before they settled into the marsh. We spent
about 30 minutes trying to relocate them where they landed, but were
unsuccessful in our attempt.
