   This morning I took a walk at Piney Run Park in Carroll County (DeLorme 57A4) and the last bird of the trip was an immature White Ibis at the upper end of the lake off White Rock Road.  I took some video of it standing on a small brush pile in this shallow part of the lake.  It may be possible to see this bird from the side of White Rock Road through the dense vegetation.  Access to this part of the park is restricted.  If you go down to the edge of the lake you do so at your own risk.  A Great Blue Heron and Great Egret were also present.
   The only other migrant I saw was my first warbler of the season, an Ovenbird.  Otherwise there was still good atlasing to be done with an FY Yellow-billed Cuckoo and FL Indigo Bunting being new confirms for this unassigned block.
