PS-- I'm laughing about this, because maybe it was inevitable...but it has been pointed out to me that the ibis photo in my piece is of a White-faced (a rare stray to Jamaica Bay), not the Glossy. I wish I had supplied the pic, because that would have given me a new state bird, but we'll try to fix instead. Thanks for the heads-up, all!
