Ibis evening flyover 7/24

Doug Gochfeld reports an Ibis species flyover last night . Likely a Glossy since they are mostly prominent in the northeast , he accounted here:

"a dark Ibis flying from the Southwest directly over the Long Meadow. It looked to be losing altitude as it neared the Pools, and then it seemed to stay in the same vicinity, where I assume it was soaring. I eventually lost sight of it, and it may have continued flying. However due to the lateness of the sighting there's a good chance it set down in Prospect. The Pools and Lullwater/Lily Pond would seem like good places to check tomorrow."
