Forwarded Conversation Subject: Correction to my post of 8/16/22, re: 7 immature White Ibis ------------------------
From: robert adamo <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Aug 19, 2022 at 12:01 AM To: NY2 BIRDS2 <[email protected]> With credit to Glenn Quinn, who in his later post on 8/16//22, stated facts that made me realize my memory from 45 years past had failed me...the above 7 birds were seen in the Mt.Sinai Marsh (from the Port Jefferson side) rather than at West Meadow Beach, S.B. - everything else included in my post happened as reported ! Here is why (I think) my "bad" raised its confused head ! First, my 84 year, 8 month and 7 days old mind reacted to the same number, of the same rare species, and location (close, but no cigar) and in haste, ran with it ! Sure, I checked my birding bible, only to find the entry (as I remarked in the post in question, while less than I usually include now...did have the location as the Mt.Sinai Marsh. Why I didn't note that very important fact then, must have been glossed over by my desire to relate to the excitement of the moment...if that makes any sense ? So Patrice, I still thank you for the visit back to a wonderful set of memories ! To you Glenn, thank you for righting my reporting, and getting me to be a tad more observant, when dealing with ordinary tasks ! And, since I meet the requirements necessary to fill in the history of the White Ibis on L.I., as you suggest, I will carry through on that !
