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. http://www.flickr.com/photos/22183060@N08/6144928940/ Dave Wheeler North Syracuse NY Montezuma NWR--Knox-Marcellus Marsh, Seneca, US-NY Sep 17, 2011 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Protocol: Stationary Comments: with Lisa Welch 15 species (+1 other taxa) Canada Goose X Wood Duck X American Wigeon 15 Mallard X Blue-winged Teal X Northern Shoveler X Northern Pintail X Green-winged Teal X Great Blue Heron X Great Egret 2 Glossy Ibis 1 I thought it was an adult basic-plumaged Glossy and thus not the same bird as at Railroad Rd recently Sandhill Crane 2 Greater/Lesser Yellowlegs 5 I didn't really notice which, in retrospect White-rumped Sandpiper 2 European Starling X many in a huge flock on East Rd Brown-headed Cowbird X many in with Starlings Montezuma NWR--Puddler Marsh, Seneca, US-NY Sep 17, 2011 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Protocol: Stationary Comments: with Lisa Welch 10 species (+1 other taxa) Canada Goose X Great Blue Heron X Black-bellied Plover 1 Semipalmated Plover 5 American Avocet 1 distant Greater/Lesser Yellowlegs 5 I didn't notice which, in retrospect Semipalmated Sandpiper 3 White-rumped Sandpiper 8 Pectoral Sandpiper 1 Ring-billed Gull X Gray Catbird 3 -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
