A very windy walk this morning produced very few passerines. 10
visitors from around the country and also from Quebec joined me on the
walk.
Yesterday evening I found what appears to be a glossy/white-faced ibis
hybrid. I'm not sure whether this is the bird that some were calling a
glossy, or if there are two separate birds. A photo of the apparent
hybrid is here:
