The Ibis is at Knox-Marsellus marsh. I think it's a non-breeding adult Glossy,
which would mean it's a different bird than the Railroad Rd bird (which I have
seen 3 times and have lots of photos of). I also have distant photos of
today's bird, which I thought lacked the whitish feathers on the front of the
neck. I also thought it had a noticably longer bill and perhaps the photos
will confirm. I last saw the Railroad Rd bird last Saturday (Muckrace).
In addition to the Avocet, a few shorebirds continue at Puddler. Back at K-M,
there's been a big influx of ducks. Birding today with Lisa Welch.
Link to photos of Lark Sparrow from last Sunday at Fair Haven and Red Knots
last Sunday in Fulton.
