Observation details
Spotted four about 250' out along the marshy reeds at the water's edge foraging for food. Beautiful coloring. Bird app identifies as White-faced Ibis. I could definitely detect the red iris when viewing through 800 zoom lens on at least two of the birds. They were so far out and it was early overcast, so not the greatest lighting. My images are heavily cropped and grainy, but they are indeed a beautiful bird! My first sighting was April 19th then went back today, the 21st and they were still there.
