Got a great look at a WHITE IBIS this morning. This bird in incredibly special. From what I hear, it was the first Santa Barbara county record - and only the 5th White Ibis recorded in California. It's been in a Carpinteria farm pond for about 5 days now. Along with it were about 8 Pectoral Sandpipers, Greater Yellowlegs, Western Sandpipers. Another spot turned up Black and White Warblers, Wilsons, Townsends, Orange Crowned, and Yellow Warblers. It's a great week of migration birding here.

Great morning of birding with Micah Schloss.
You gotta call me for these.
