[nysbirds-l] ***WHITE IBIS*** - Tonawanda WMA, Niagara County
After listening to Dave Sugg's message on the BOS one-call around 6 pm this evening (Thurs, Sept. 24), I met up with Dave Wheeler and we were able to make it to the Tonawanda WMA in time to watch the juvenile WHITE IBIS roosting amongst the 80-100 Great Egrets. As noted in the WNY Dial-A-Bird, the bird was originally found and well photographed back on September 20 by Mark Pearce. The location is best accessed by heading east on Owen-Bartel Rd. from Ditch Rd. and then parking on the north side of the road just opposite the second firing range. From there walk the dike separating Wood Marsh East and Hunt Club Marsh north about 3/4 mile to the first intersection and then continue west (right) about 1/4 mile--the actual roost location is on the south side of the dike (actually named Wagoner Rd. on Google Maps) near the Heron rookery, and should be obvious.
