To add to Shai's description of the mornings birding at Captree Island, shortly after Shai and Doug left a Parasitic Jaeger flew over Captree Island (photos on my flickr site). I have also put up a few photos of the White-face Ibis in comparison with adjacent Glossy Ibis. The Ibis disappeared for at least a half hour but flew back in at about 10:30AM further west on the Captree Island marsh. Birders in the second shift enjoyed some good looks as the bird was fairly near the road. Please do not park anywhere near the homes on the island. We are tolerated by the residents to the extent that we do not inconvenience them in their comings and goings.
