Richard Stevens:
I accompanied two Illinois birders to Jackson Reservoir in search of Long-eared Owls. Eventually we found three of them in the western Campgrounds.
A Cassin's Vireo and Black-and-white Warbler were seen between the Pelican and Cove Campgrounds. Dozens of Marbled Godwit were along the western shore.
After dropping my birding companions off at the airport, I picked up Rebecca Kosten and we returned to Broomley Lane (152nd avenue). Glossy Ibis had been reported earlier in the day just east of Picadilly Road.
A flock of 100+ White-faced Ibis was feeding quite close to 152nd avenue (just east of the old tree nursery at Picadilly Road).
Among the White-faced Ibis, I picked out at least three Glossy Ibis. Two possible hybrid White-faced X Glossy Ibis were interesting also.
Other birds around the flooded field included a male Great-tailed Grackle and four Yellow-headed Blackbirds.
