Subject: [MDOSPREY] Thursday sighting of Glossy Ibis.. still at Hains
Point, DC


FYI
For those that have not seen it yet.

At 2:30 this afternoon, coming back from a meeing in DC I drove through
Hains Point and instantly (within 2 minutes of looking around) found the
Ibis at the same "grassy strip between the road and Washington Channel, just
beyond the parking lot where the out-bound road becomes one-way."

Pretty little bird. I was able to stay in the car and watch it from 20 feet
with out bothering it.

Thanks for the excellent directions John and Michael.
