Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge; then, Forest Park:- 27 April Joe Giunta, Sam Jannazzo and I (Sy Schiff) found the WHITE-FACED IBIS in a feeding flock of GLOSSY IBIS in the south marsh, viewing between benches 1 and 2. They were mixed with SNOWY and GREAT EGRETS and two LITTLE BLUE HERONS. The cuts are very deep in the marsh at this point and the waders would disappear for periods of time. Patience is required as they moved in and out.
We stopped at the water hole in Forest Park on the way home. It was comparatively quiet except for a singing LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH and a NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH walking along the edge. Over by the Railroad tracks, we heard our first of the season HOUSE WREN.
