Hello VA Birders,
I received an email (on 7/23) from Mike Callahan, Park Interpreter for
the Caledon Natural Area, reporting White Ibises at this site. His
note is below.
Arun Bose, Richmond.

There is a flock of 4 immature White Ibises at Caledon Natural Area, A
Virginia Sate Park in King George, VA. Caledon is on the Potomac and
only 10 mins from the Governor Harry W. Nice Bridge.
This morning 4 birds were in a part of the park that is closed to the
public. Park staff are willing to take birders to see them if they
are not doing other interpretive programs. Birders would need to call
ahead of time to make arrangements at 540-663-3861.
I was out of town for a week at a funeral and apparently they were
there then which was two weeks ago between July 5 -11. the rest of the
staff are not birders and didn't realize how on common of a sighting
they were.
If there is another way to report rare birds in VA without subscribing
to a list serve please let me know.
Naturally,
Mike Callahan
Park Interpreter
Caledon Natural Area
