Dear MDOspreyers,

My dad and I went to KAG this morning not realizing the Glossy Ibis had been reported. After missing it on our first spin around the ponds we hit the River Trail. On our second attempt it was right there along the edge of one of the middle ponds. After leaving at 10:30AM to go to church, we returned around 12:45PM for further looks. It was still there. I haven't had time to download my pictures yet, so I don't know how they turned out. If any of them are decent I will post a link. Below is my complete list in order that we saw them. (Noticeably abscent are woodpeckers. Didn't even hear one.)

Peace,

Jordan Rutter
