The adult GLOSSY IBIS found today by Gale VerHague showed well up until about an hour before sunset (although it would hide for periods of time). Around that time it took extended flights out of view, eventually returning after 10-15 minutes each time. It flew back to the Berry Road Marsh one last time and settled into the cattails where it slunk down and out of sight for the night. This is the marsh on the north side of the road, just west of the railroad tracks and about a mile east of Rt. 5 in the Town of Pomfret.
There was also an adult male ORCHARD ORIOLE singing here. Good birding!
