Saw 8 White-faced Ibis 5/24 in NE Oregon near LaGrande at Ladd Marsh (Peach Rd. wetland). Perhaps part of broader irruption.

> I and two other refuge personel saw a white-faced ibis (mature breeding plumage) on Columbia NWR this Friday afternoon. It was alone in Marsh Unit 2, Pond 3. Go N out of Othello on McManamon Road about 5 miles, turn N onto Morgan Lake Road, go about 3 or 4 miles to the Frog Lake Trailhead and parking area. Go east down the trail and cross Crab Creek on the dam. Turn S on the road/trail after you cross the creek. Go south counting ponds as you go. The first one on your left is 1. The bird was on 3, on the E side of the pond. Good luck.
