I went back to Hornsby Bend after hearing from two Texbird members. While the
ibis family I saw yesterday has no white around the eye or face like the white
face ibis I saw last summer, my photos today seem to indicate that their eyes
are red - so I think my id yesterday was incorrect as glossy and should be
changed to white-faced. There is a nice family foraging in the tall grass at
the end of the pond - at least 8. There was also a juvenile white ibis
foraging nearby.
The highlight for today was a sora that I at least got a couple of photos
before it disappeared back in the tall grass.
