Birders, The Glossy Ibis, found this morning at Windermere Basin by Kevin McLaughlin, was seen out in the open again at approximately 10:05 a.m. for 15-20 minutes at which time it flew towards the Pier 25 area, (back and to the far right if you are at the main viewing platform) where it landed and disappeared into vegetation. The bird is still present but it may take time and patience to see.
