MCWMA rare visitor follow-up visit

I made a follow-up visit the MCWMA in search fo the Glossy Ibis, White Ibis, Blue Grosbeak and Little Blue Heron that where being reported in the area. Here is quick report.

I arrived at Hopeland Rd ponds at7:30am with no luck on the White Ibis, so I moved on to the next stop where I was meeting some Audubon members.

After meeting up, we proceeded to the ponds where the Glossy Ibis where being seen...sure enough they where still there and giving good looks...one down 3 to go.

Next target was the Blue Grosbeak and Little Blue Heron. we did not find the LBH..but did find the Blue Grosbeak...and had great looks while it was singing almost the whole time we observed it.

Our next target was the White Ibis....again we arrived at the pond location and after a short search located the bird. An immature White Ibis.

We ended out day with 3 of 4 target species and a total of 41 species...not a bad morning.

Until next time....good birding.
