He and his friend Seth did find one good bird at Jacob Riis Park, a continuing Cattle Egret , which is common across large chunks of the world but was only Corey’s sixth sighting in New York State, with the fifth having been the same individual bird during the week last week. How about you?

The Italian wintering grounds are the WWF Oasis Laguna di Orbetello, where in February 2016 I was delighted to meet the flock. On a visit in October 2022, I found ibises feeding with cattle in scruffy roadside paddocks adjacent to the marismas ( photographs below ). Here they were easy to overlook.

India was not on my list of places to go in 2016. Then, we became birders again, noting Common Mynas and Eastern Cattle Egrets on the terraced lawns, Yellow-footed Pigeons, European-collared and Red-collared Doves in the trees bordering the garden squares. I had not planned on birding India in 2016, but I’m very happy I did.

Some of you may well remember the quarry that I wrote about in October 2016. Cattle have been in the area and so there will be small remaining pools from their hoof prints if rain does not come to the area soon just like last time. The remaining amount of water was really quite disastrous for the local bird-life.

For these reasons alone, after this successful nesting, we wanted to expand the number of artificial burrows available to the owls for the 2016 nesting season. This property is also a site with vernal pools and uses cattle grazing for vegetation control. The other two tunnels dead end inside the nesting chamber.
