Dear Birder,

Yes, you, who told me that glossy ibis do not exist in Utah. I found out about them from photographs at a Utah State Park. This morning I counted 29, about fifty feet from my living room. I couldn’t get a good photo because of no telephoto lens, no sun to show their gorgeous iridescence, and it’s snowing like mad.

They’ve moved a few hundred feet further away now but are still finding yummy-ness in the muddy ground they’re sharing with a solitary Sandhill crane.

Nature folks and birders here confirm their existence. Come see for yourself! Cheers, Dee
