A report of a White Ibis, southern Staten Island, N.Y. City, Monday, 25 April, 2011-
Mount Loretto N.Y.D.E.C Preserve is located in southern Staten Island, N.Y. City, off the SE side of Hylan Boulevard, with a small parking area just below Sharott Ave. - the trail referred to "presumable" means going out towards the SE, away from Hylan Blvd. - that is somewhere towards the shoreline area. If that's not what the message means, then I've misunderstood the minimal directions. I know nothing further about this report beyond what's in the initial short posting to the SI NaturaList: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SINaturaList/message/2223 (I am not on the scene, merely passing this along for those with interest.) On the thread of my Sunday report of Yellow-bellied Flycatcher from Riverside Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City, thanks for the input so far. I'm interested in further information and data, even as I concur that the banding data from Long Island's south shore is especially strong evidence for date ranges. The photos taken in Central Park also are of interest but are of course a small, rather limited sample from that site. Thanks to Scott Haber for broaching the subject which is certainly worth the mention. (good luck, if trying for an Ibis!)
