Based on the Avocet sightings I see that this shared location doesn't exist. A marker was just created for Red Creek Pond, Hampton Bays in Suffolk County. The hotspot should be available within 12 hours. If you wish to merge your personal location with an existing hotspot here are the steps: —

The adult White Ibis at Evangola SP was reported earlier this afternoon but has not been seen in at least two hours. From what I can recall of this park, there are not any large wetlands there, just a couple of small ponds. So, it may have continued on in search of something better. If I hear
