I've been seeing single Glossy Ibis on several occasions in the vicinity of Sills Road just south of the LIE (Suffolk County, usually in the late afternoon on my way home from work.Yesterday, around 4:30 PM, I saw 4 ibis together.All sightings have been of low-flying birds, heading generally due west. Yesterday's group of 4 were also low-flying, right over Baseball Heaven, and they appeared to be getting ready to set down somewhere.I can possibly see how they might be coming from the vicinity of the Carman's River but I can't imagine where they're heading. A look at Google satellite doesn't show anyplace even remotely damp that would attract them.Any theories? Glenn --
