Livia and I drove up to Montezuma after work yesterday evening. We were
unable to find the ibis, although we ran into someone at Mays Point who said
she had seen it (or at least an ibis) there at Mays, down the channel to the
left, somewhere in the 3:00-4:00 hour, so perhaps just after Dave et al
It IS interesting that Jay and Livia found two Black-bellied Plovers
at May's Point Pool yesterday only a few hours after Dave, Ann, and I
observed two Golden Plovers in the same spot.
So that there is no confusion, the birds we observed were not in
breeding plumage. Their bellies were gray
An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER is visible again in a snag on the back (west) side
of the pond at Sapsucker Woods.

Around 9 a.m. yesterday at Myers, a friend and I saw what we thought was an
immature Black-crowned Night Heron. We returned home to consult several
books, and visit three websites; the result was that we were reasonably
comfortable with our identification. However, since I lacked the confidence

this afternoon over nearby fields and lawns here in Scipio Center.
They paused occasionally to rest on overhead wires before resuming the

Hi everyone,
You may want to take a look at the eBird bar charts to give you an
idea of what birds have been seen at Myers Point, Sapsucker Woods,
Tompkins county or any state, county or birding location anywhere in
the world. Whenever I go to a new location, or even to learn more

I am positive of the bird in that tree still now though. The
Interesting .. I observed the same thing here in Union Springs this
afternoon ...tree & barn swallows & surprisingly .. chimney swifts
. GREAT numbers of birds. AND, I have seen VERY few swallows for
several weeks so they were a real surprise.The lawns here at the academy had

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,

Best, Ann Mitchell
