An immature White Ibis was present in White County
this morning, when seen by Doug Downs and me.
The ibis was located at Randolph Pond on Walter
Stone Rd., which is a couple of miles east of the
O'Connor Rd. exit on Rt. 111 between Cookeville
and Sparta.  This pond is private, but you can view
it from a distance from Walter Stone Rd.; you will
need a good scope to see the ibis well.
Take Rt. 111 south from I-40 about 8 miles to the
O'Connor Rd. exit; this exit is the second exit on
Rt. 111 after you pass into White County; at the
end of the exit ramp, go left/east a short distance
to the old highway and cross it to Walnut Grove Rd.,
taking it about a mile to Walter Stone on the right; 
take Walter Stone about a mile, being sure to bear
left and avoid Golden Mt. Rd. going off to the right.
There are several ponds on Walter Stone, but Randolph
is quite large and set back a ways on the left.

An adult Bald Eagle was noted flying over the pond,
and a couple of Great Egrets foraged around the
edges this morning also.  A few shorebirds were
present, but few would be identifiable from the road.
