Tn-birders, Dollyann and I found a flock of 14 White-faced Ibis this morning at mile marker 5.5 on the Great River Road (GRR) in Dyer County. There is a row of trees that comes out nearly to the GRR. To the right (south) of these trees and a bit further back, there is a man made pond. To the right of the pond and even further back near a ditch row, was a wet area with some standing water. This is where we had the Ibis. We looked for 2 days for any sign of the Whistling ducks in the area, but were not lucky enough to find any. Jeff Wilson had a pair of Black-bellied last night (just south of mile marker 6), but by the time we got there, they were gone. We also did not see any sign of the Tri-colored Heron that had been reported earlier. We were, however, able to locate the Bell's Vireos breeding in Black Bayou, and the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher on Highway 103, about a mile east of the GRR. Great birding to all.
