The Glossy Ibis was at Henricus today at approx. 11 a.m. feeding in the
muddy area between the Observation Platforms. The bird was observed for half
an hour and hardly moved from the area. A Blue-winged Teal was also seen
with the Ibis. Seemingly hundreds of Tree Swallows are buzzing around and
checking out nest boxes.

Sadly, a Clapper Rail was found dead on the side of the road in this general
area. The bird was obviously hit by a car given the nature of the injuries.
Perhaps some speed bumps would be more effective then the copper-roofed
colonial style speed limit signs.
