[nysbirds-l] White-faced Ibis - Captree Island, Suffolk Co

[Michael McBrien]

My dad and I just found a White-faced Ibis on the Captree Island marsh.  The 
ibis flock was just flushed when firecrackers went off nearby, but the birds 
are regrouping and landing in the marsh.

The WFIB appears to be an immature with almost no white on its face, but the 
red facial skin is rather prominent.

Good luck to those who come for it. Please respect all parking signs along 
Captree Island Rd as it is a private community.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel - west Pond

[zach schwartz-weinstein]

Hi, I just had a whimbrel fly fairly low over my head at the west pond near
the breach.  Looked like it may have landed on the north side of the pond
somewhere.  The Acadian flycatcher was present on the trail south of big
johns.
