Why were you were 99% sure it was a Glossy? I photographed it, but lost all
my photos. To me it looked very dark on the body. I saw no light color,
which made me think it was a Glossy. My friends wern't sure. What makes
you almost comfirm it?
Best, Ann Mitchell

I saw an ibis at Mays yesterday afternoon that I am 99% sure was a glossy. The
bird was feeding in several parts of teh impoundment and changed locations
four
times in the 45 minutes I was there.
Also good numbers of shorebirds present, but hard to see due to distance for
most and the closer ones being in the stubble. The species I was able to pick
out were:
both Yellowlegs, killdeer, pectoral sandpiper, semipalmated plover, least
sandpiper, dowitcher spp., Black-bellied plover, and White-rumped Sandpiper.
