Yesterday, Nov. 1, the ibis was not present at the Wildcat Creek delta site on the Mississippi R. south of Brownsville in Houston Co. Fred Lesher, LaCrosse, Wis.
I lead a Coulee Region Audubon Society trip Saturday morning, tomorrow Nov. 3 south along the Mississippi R. to Poole Slough on the Minn./Iowa border at New Albin, IA. Meet at the Dresbach Information center & Rest Area near Lock & Dam 7 on the Mississippi River at 8:30 AM. We will look for the ibis near Brownsville. There are/have been Sandhill Cranes on/near the Minn/Iowa border at Poole Slough, which is a grassy wetland. There is a raft of ten thousands of waterfowl, divers & dabblers, a mile long & several hundred yards wide on Pool 7. Most of these birds are in Wisconsin but best viewed or only visible from Minnesota. There are several hundred Tundra Swans, at least as many American White Pelicans, and 60 +/- Bald Eagles on Pool 7. Some of these swans, pelicans, eagles & waterfowl are in Minnesota.
