The White-faced Ibis is the Ibis most commonly found in South Dakota. It is very similar to the Glossy Ibis, but the two species ranges are generally distinctive. Where they do overlap, intermediates (possibly hybrids) can make positive identification nearly impossible. They currently appear to be expanding in both range and in number.
Habitat: Prefers shallow freshwater marshes, flooded fields, rice paddies. Will also forage in saltwater marshes.
Diet: Mostly insect and crustaceans, also earthworms, frogs, tadpoles, snails, leeches, and small fish.
Behavior: Forages in shallow water, probing for food items in the muddy bottom. They will also take insects and other prey from the water’s surface, or by foraging on dry land.
Nesting: June and July
Breeding Map: Breeding Bird Survey map
Song: White-faced Ibis song.
Migration: Summers in scattered locations throughout the central and western United States. Winters in California, Arizona, the Gulf Coast, and points south.
Similar Species: Glossy Ibis. Juvenile White Ibis can appear similar.
Conservation Status: Has increased in number since the 1970s, and is expanding in range. Previous declines are attributed to DDT and other pesticides.

Great info dude!!
I don’t think he’ll make any money in a mutual fund if he only has a few months to trade. Have him learn about earnings and trade around earnings reports, I think he’ll either hit or miss but thats a fun way to live “Go big or go home.”
