Glossy Ibis
Glossy Ibis are large heron-like bird
with a distinctly down-curved bill. Glossy Ibis have only
been documented nesting in the Lake Champlain Basin since
1999 when 2 pairs were located on the Four Brothers Islands.
Nesting was not documented in 2000. A single pair returned
to the islands in 2001 and 2002. Changes in the vegetation
associated with the increase in Double-crested Cormorant population
may ultimately affect future nesting of this species.
