On Tuesday (4/19/11) on my way to Shad landing State Park on Rt 113 when I noticed a large flock of Glossy Ibis feeding along the road. I stopped and took a good look at the flock and was surprised to find a White-faced Ibis feeding along with the flock of about 30 Glossy Ibis. The Ibis flock was 6 minutes southwest of Shad landing SP.
After shad landing I went Shad fishing at Porters Crossing and saw the following birds,
4 Northern Parulas
2 Yellow Warblers
1 Chestnut-sided Warbler
1 Magnolia Warbler
5 Yellow-rumped Warblers
3 Prairie Warblers
6 Pine Warblers

3 Worm-eating Warblers
4 Prothonotary Warblers
5 Black-and-white Warblers
