The breeding plumaged White-faced Ibis (WFIB) continued today on the East Pond
at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. The bird flew in and out several times on the
Pond during the time I was there so patience may be necessary for anyone
chasing.
Other East Pond Southend notables include. A continuing drake Lesser Scaup, 1
Stilt Sandpiper and a few Ruddy Ducks. Quite a nice number of Marsh Wrens were
also present today.
Lesser Yellowlegs, Greater Yellowlegs, Eastern Willet, Spotted Sandpiper and a
Killdeer were the other Shorebirds observed today. The water level is brilliant
on the Pond at the moment and we are in cracking shape for a solid Shorebird
season if the birds cooperate.
Cheers,
