>From Geneseebirds... *Subject: Glossy Ibis at Mays Point, MNWR* From: "Mike Wasilco" <mrwasilc AT gw.dec.state.ny.us> Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 09:15:05 -0400
I saw an ibis at Mays yesterday afternoon that I am 99% sure was a glossy. The bird was feeding in several parts of teh impoundment and changed locations four times in the 45 minutes I was there. Also good numbers of shorebirds present, but hard to see due to distance for most and the closer ones being in the stubble. The species I was able to pick out were: both Yellowlegs, killdeer, pectoral sandpiper, semipalmated plover, least sandpiper, dowitcher spp., Black-bellied plover, and White-rumped Sandpiper.
