Glossy Ibis and shorebirds @ Pt. Mouillee - pics

[Jerry Jourdan]

Birders,

I found the two previously reported Glossy Ibis in the Vermet Unit at Pt.
Mouillee late this afternoon about 100 yds from the Middle Causeway and was
able to digiscope these couple of pics:

As reported earlier the place is hopping w/ shorebirds:

20-30 Short-billed Dowitchers (no LBD's seen)

I did not see the American Avocet in the Vermet Unit, but didn't spend much
time looking for it.

I also had a couple nice pics of a Grasshopper Sparrow up north this weekend
