belliott Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I found this bird today, in the edge of a flood pool in Southwest Missouri. It refused to move into the clear. My best guess is immature White Ibis, but the bill and eye don't seem quite right. It is Ibis size. Thanks https://www.dropbox.com/sh/993hqm4isu7gqw9/AACb6kASkO00sHYnx1HFcsGZa?dl=0 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) That’s a Limpkin. Fantastic bird for the area, I believe. Report it to Ebird.org immediately. Edited May 9 by IKLland 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree on the ID and the 'fanciness' of the bird. Nice find! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Stanton Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 If confirmed, I think this would be a first state record. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
