Here's another shot of the Glossy Ibis from the Mascoutin Trail wetland:

I forgot to mention that I also saw two juvenile Hooded Mergansers today
swimming/diving in the stream just below the dam. I am guessing that they
came from a nest located somewhere within this wetland. There were a number
of nest boxes at the site.

Tr. - GLOSSY IBIS too!
Dan Belter and I stopped at this spot and observed two Black neck stilts for
a good 1/2 hour. We also saw 9 Great Egrets and 4 Green Herons. Just as we
were heading back to the car we 9 Black-crowned Night Herons fly over head.
