Ibis Update --

I traveled to Truitt's Landing with my wife, Amy, today, Monday, 05/10/99, 
for the hoped-for late pm ibis show. Unfortunately, none was to be had. We 
were joined by the more than pleasant company of the Mudds from about 3:30 pm 
to 7:15 pm. A small group of ibis (8-12) were consistently in the northwest 
pool, with frequent ins and outs of 1-3 birds. Additionally, a large flock 
(about 22) was seen in the distance at the far northern end of the northwest 
pool area and for better or worse I made a go at trying to see them (through 
the woods and to the marsh fringe). I don't recommend this at all. I did 
mange to see this group (in flight only) and none of them "popped".

I'm headed to NJ early tomorrow to begin scouting for the World Series on 
Saturday, so I humbly request a moratorium on ibis searching until my 
return...

Other birds included 1 Sora and 1 King Rail.

Good ibising,
