[Maine-birds] Re: White-faced Ibis - Falmouth, 4/25

Still present on 4/26

Had a chance to get over for the WHITE-FACED IBIS today along with its supporting cast of GLOSSY IBIS.  As I was driving down Providence Ave, I saw several Ibis fly right to left towards the North Meadow blind. I headed over there and they were along the edge to the left of the North Meadow Blind. OK views were lessened by the snowfall. Birds eventually relocated around 9:20 back to the end of Providence Ave but were working their way quickly over towards Tidewater Farm. 

Cheers.

The WHITE-FACED IBIS continues this morning (25 April 2016) with a group of 35ish Glossy Ibises off the North Meadow at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth (http://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L251783).

No sign of the Little Egret but if its behavior is anything like last year then it probably won't show up until the tide comes in a bit further. Here is an article I wrote last year to help predict when and where to see the egret: http://maineaudubon.org/blog/2015/07/how-to-see-a-little-egret/ I'll head out again in a couple hours to check.

Good birding,
