[White-faced Ibis (foreground) with Glossy Ibis (background), seen this afternoon near the pond at the intersection of Shunpike and Stimpson Roads, near West Cape May. Photo by Karl Lukens.]This morning's Beanery/Rea Farm walk is summarized below, as well as details regarding a White-faced Ibis seen nearby after the walk:
"...Started out birdy at the parking lot where we had Indigo Bunting and Blue Grosbeak in the same scope field of view in a tree top. Also had the Yellow-breasted Chat in the scope from the parking lot. Nice looks at Great-crested Flycatcher, a distant E. Kingbird and numerous Red-tailed Hawks. As for migrants we heard a Parula, and Blackpoll, and saw fleeting glimpses of an uncooperative Magnolia Warbler. After the walk some of us had a White-faced Ibis at the pond at Shunpike and Stimpson Rd."

(Note: to view this pond, drive north from the Beanery for about 1/4 mile, making a right onto Stimpson Rd. After a short distance, make a left onto Shunpike Road. The pond will be immediately visible to the left. This pond is on private property, so do not trespass and be respectful of others' privacy if you stop there. -TR)
