Glossy Ibis at Bombay Hook.

Posted on by

I made the 75 mile trek to Bombay Hook this morning, just to see what might be showing up there.  It’s a big marsh, and they often have birds we don’t see here.

I saw Avocets and Ibises, and a few flyover birds I didn’t recognize, but it wasn’t as active as in the past. Still, there was plenty of action and it was worth the trek.
