[cobirds] Re: Boulder Glossy Ibis

Any chance there were 39 birds total, i.e., 38 White-faced and 1 Glossy? The reason I ask is that I saw 39 Plegadis sp. overflying Greenlee Preserve late this morning, on a northwest vector that would have taken them straight to Walden. If it was n=39, I'm adding Glossy to my Greenlee list...
