"Hunt and partner Marilyn Camp have spent hours chasing the bird from tree to tree. They threw fish on the ground to lure it down, and twigs to rattle it off a perch. But the bird would simply climb to a higher branch or flutter away as they advanced.

"Workers from the Marine Science Center and Holly Hill police have also tried to no avail to rescue the ibis."
