The two WHITE IBIS flew to the west and have not been relocated.  We watched them go over the top of a large tree on the west side of the western fields but we did not see them reappear on either side or above the tree.

I checked the West End with Dan Rottino but we were not able to relocate the birds.  The tide is high and the marshes are flooded.

And an update on the Buff-breasted Sandpiper:  The bird was last seen about an hour ago when it walked into some of the taller grasses. The bird never re-emerged and is either in hiding or sneaked away and no one has been able to relocate it and the western end of the park.
