The immature WHITE-FACED IBIS was present on the eastern end of Captree Island marsh, north of Captree Island Road, between 12:50 and 1:10 this afternoon. It then flew out with 2 Glossy Ibis, heading southwest. It fed in the marsh first to the west and then to the east of the first pullout on the north side of the road (just past the Captree Island sign). It fed with varying numbers of Glossy Ibis most of the time, and briefly alone after flying a short distance to the east. The previously documented field marks were all well seen. Other notable sightings/hearings included Little Blue Heron (2), Clapper Rail, Seaside Sparrow, and Semipalmated Sandpiper. Good luck with the ibis if you try for it.
