A juvenile Roseate Spoonbill is currently visible at Wallkill River NWR’s
Liberty Marsh off Oil City Road, where it has been reported for several days.
The New York/New Jersey border runs directly through the wetlands. So far it
seems that the bird has remained on, and is only visible from, the Jersey side
of the loop trail. I’m guessing that the perceived “noncountability” of this
individual for NY state listers is a contributing factor in its absence from
the listserv. All the same, I’m sure there are plenty of people who might be
interested in chasing a local occurrence of this species. It may yet decide to
check out the northern portion of the marsh, too.
Cheers!
