After reading a report of a juvenile White Ibis being seen about 45 minutes from my house I decided to give it a go. The bird was reported at Oil City Road which is just a few hundred yards north of the New Jersey border. When I first arrived the bird was not i sight, but Rich K. and I used a hunter's blind to get some more elevation. Shortly thereafter the ibis took flight for about 15 seconds before dropping back into the marsh and out of sight.
This is my first sighting of this bird in New York.
