Canon City area Long-billed Dowitcher and Glossy Ibis

I found a Long-billed Dowitcher at the BLM's Blue Heron area today with a male and female Blue-winged Teal. They were all on the south pond, one that gets lowered when the water is let out for irrigation--the best kind for shorebirds and also for Blue-winged Teal, a species that is attracted muddy and low water areas.

There was a really big flock of 250-300 ibis in Florence today. I found one Glossy Ibis, a rarity in Colorado, after scoping about 75 birds (the rest were too distant for me to tell for me).
