[cobirds] Bent county --- WHITE IBIS and Least Terns

COBirders,

Just a quick update, the WHITE IBIS continued this evening at Gageby Creek and Bent county road JJ (AKA Van's Marsh).  As Duane mentioned, if you go down the two track road that is just to the west of the marsh area you can get a bit closer.  Be aware that if you choose to drive down this road you may get scratches on your vehicle in a couple of spots.

As I headed back towards Lamar I made a quick stop at the end of road 20 where you can see the far west end of John Martin reservoir.  There was a family of four LEAST TERNs working the area, one adult and three youngsters.  The adult was actively hunting and then feeding the youngsters what it would catch.
