| Plegadis sp. | 1992 | Oct-Dec | Erie | An all dark Plegadis was observed at PISP 10/15. It was Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerla) or Snowy Egret (E. thula) in size with an extended neck and a long decurved bill. The legs were all dark and projected beyond the tail. As it circled the point it alternately flapped its wings and glided, but unfortunately it never landed so I could thoroughly study it. See photograph. I believe the chances of a Plegadis in fall at PISP being a White-faced Ibis (P. chihi) is as good as, if not better than, a Glossy Ibis (P. falcinellus). There is a fall record of a Plegadis in Ohio that was identified as a White-faced Ibis! (Jerry McWilliams) |
