Hi Andrew and all, We just received notification from the Banding Lab and want to thank you for reporting your resighting of the Glossy Ibis 1116-50056 (also known as 049).
In case others are curious: that bird was banded as a pre-fledged chick by our team (NYC Audubon) on 17 June 2010 on Canarsie Pol, Jamaica Bay. This bird is seven years old. How incredibly exciting -- especially considering that you (Andrew) reported a Glossy Ibis from that same cohort last year at the East Pond. Good birding, Susan Susan B.
