Today I went to the local park with my 4-H group. We hadn't started our program (it's a bird one |=)|) yet and we were just waiting around. Then I looked up and saw 2 birds in the grasses pretty far off. I looked through my bins and the were glossy ibis (Plegadis falcinellus)!!!! |:d| I really was not expecting that because they were in the grass, right near a playground! I had seen them before, but never at that park. It was a real treat, and a year bird too! All the 4-Her's had never seen a glossy ibis before and I think they were really excited about it also. I also saw a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea), which was another year bird. Anyway I had a very nice day and just wanted to share our find! |:d| Thanks for letting me babble on! |=)|
PS
Do you say ibis with a short "i" sound or a long one? We were wondering which one is right. Thanks!|=)|
