Glossy ibis preens before Concord birders

April 12, 2023

The paparazzi have been out in force in Concord’s wildlife areas as the warmer weather draws relatively unusual birds to the region.

Last weekend, the cameras were out and clicking in French’s Meadow, where local birders added both the glossy ibis and the white ibis to their birding lists, along with the Wilson snipe.
